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
