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
