I'm going on a night train It's only been a light rain and the darkened sky and the starry night I'm humming on a cold train I'm singing ‘bout the Wreck of the Old 97 And I'm walking through the city I tell my story to the rain And I won't come back no matter what you say I'm feeling no pain Don't care if I ever see your face again And I won't come back no matter what you say I'm traveling on the Northern Line
Got no money but I got a lot of time to spare And I'm walking through the city Tell my secret to the sky And I won't come back no matter what you say I'm going on a night train It's only been a light rain and the darkened sky and the starry night I'm humming on a cold train I'm singing ‘bout the Wreck of the Old 97 I'm feeling no pain Don't care if I ever see your face again
