| I’ve been working on a night train |
| Drinking coffee, taking cocaine |
| I’m out here on a night train |
| Trying to get us safely home |
| Well in a little country station |
| Somewhere out in the midwest |
| I see the people out there waiting |
| Heart beating in my chest |
| And I’m thinking about a woman |
| Who I would put no one above |
| I’m not looking to replace her |
| Just need someone to love |
| Well I’m out here on my night train |
| Drinking coffee, taking cocaine |
| I’m out here on a night train |
| Trying to get us safely home |
| And I’m living in the city |
| Where the noise, it never stops |
| How much pounding on the pavement |
| Whizzes from traffic cops |
| Nobody looks you in the eye here |
| Walking around with clinched fists |
| I’ve been searching for a simple place |
| Don’t know if it exists |
| There’s a sunrise out there calling my name |
| I can see her moving, I can see her moving |
| Well at a certain time of night, now |
| I’ll become one with the wind |
| Where there isn’t a beginning |
| And there is no end |
| Oh when everything is flowing |
| Everything is on time |
| And I know that we’re all going |
| To the end of the line |
| Well I’m out here on my night train |
| Drinking coffee, taking cocaine |
| I’m out here on a night train |
| Trying to get us safely home |
| Well I’m out here on my night train |
| Drinking coffee, taking cocaine |
| I’m out here on a night train |
| Trying to get us safely home |
| Trying to get us safely home |
| Trying to get us safely home |
