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
Hammers poundin' on the pavement
Whistles from 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
