I've been workin' on a night train Drinking coffee, taking cocaine I'm out here on my night train Trying to get 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 thinkin' about a woman Who I put no one above I'm not lookin' 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 my night train Trying to get safely home And I'm livin' in the city Where the noise, it never stops And there's poundin' on the pavement With some strong traffic cops Nobody looks you in the eye, yeah Walkin' 'round with clenched fists I've been searchin' for a simple place Don't know if it exists The sunrise out there calling my name I can see her movin', I can see her movin' Well at a certain time of night, now I'll be comin' with the wind Where there isn't a beginning And there is no end Oh and everything is floatin' Everything is on time And I know that we're all goin' To the end of the line Well I'm out here on my night train Drinking coffee, taking cocaine I'm out here on my night train Trying to get safely home Well I'm out here on my night train Drinking coffee, taking cocaine I'm out here on my night train Trying to get safely home Trying to get safely home Trying to get safely home
