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 homeWell, in a little country station
Somewhere out in the midwest
I see the people out there waiting
Heart beating in my chestAnd I'm thinking about a woman
Who I would put no one above
I'm not looking to replace her
Just need someone to loveWell, 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 homeAnd I'm living in the city
Where the noise, it never stops
How much pounding on the pavement
Whizzes from traffic copsNobody looks you in the eye here
Walking around with clinched fists
I've been searching for a simple place
Don't know if it existsThere's a sunrise
Out there calling my name
I can see her moving
I can see her movingWell, at a certain time of night now
I'll become one with the wind
Where there isn't a beginning
And there is no endOh, when everything is flowing
Everything is on time
And I know that we're all going
To the end of the lineWell, 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 homeWell, 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
