| I’ve been workin' on a night train | 
| Drinkin' coffee takin' cocaine | 
| I’m out here on my night train | 
| Tryin' 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 'bout a woman | 
| Who I put no one above | 
| I’m not lookin' to replace her | 
| Just need someone to love | 
| While I’m out here on my night train | 
| Drinkin' coffee takin' cocaine | 
| I’m out here on my night train | 
| Trying to get her safely home | 
| Well I’m livin' in the city | 
| Where the noise it never stops | 
| Hammers pounding on the pavement | 
| Whitles from traffic cops | 
| Nobody looks you in the eye here | 
| Walkin' 'round with clenched fists | 
| I been searchin' for a simple place | 
| Don’t know if it exists | 
| Sunrise out there callin' my name | 
| I can see her movin' | 
| I can see her movin' | 
| Well at a certain time of night now | 
| I become one with the wind | 
| Where there isn’t a beginning | 
| And there is no end | 
| Oh and everything is flowing | 
| Everything is on time | 
| I know that we’re all going | 
| To the end of the line | 
| And I’m out here on my night train | 
| Drinkin' coffee takin' cocaine | 
| I’m out here on my night train | 
| Trying to get her safely home | 
| Yeah I’m out here on my night train | 
| Drinkin' coffee takin' cocaine | 
| I’m out here on my night train | 
| Trying to get safely home | 
| Trying to get safely home | 
| Trying to get safely home |
