Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Out of the night, burnin' with light
A train shining back, I won't look back, life is runnin'
Hopin' someday, someone will say I got it made
Pull up the shade, let the sun in
[Verse 2]
I'm on the night train, feel the sky steal away
Use up a lifetime lookin' for the break of day
[Verse 3]
Border patrol lookin' through me
The towns without names all look the same, I hear cryin'
Paris to Spain, countries in pain
Caught up in flight, feelin' the sight, Europe dyin'
[Verse 4]
I'm on the night train, feel the sky steal away
Use up a lifetime lookin' for the break of day
[Verse 5]
Rollin' on, hear the wheels singin'
Fever keeps comin' on so strong
My ticket paid, tryin' to fade
I hope I get there, not just somewhere I was leavin'
Out in the dark, all the wolves bark
I close my arms, try to keep warm by believin'
[Verse 6]
I'm on the night train, feel the sky steal away
Use up a lifetime lookin' for the break of day
[Verse 7]
Hard rain fallin' on cold wheels movin' on
Everybody, they're so alone, down on the night train
Hard rain fallin' on cold wheels movin' on
Everybody, they're so alone, down on the night train
Night train
Night train
Oh
[Verse 8]
Hard rain fallin' on cold wheels movin' on
Everybody, they're so alone, down on the night train
Hard rain fallin' on cold wheels movin' on
Everybody, oh-oh, so alone, down on the night train
Night train
Get on
Night train
Come on
Night train
