Well that sounds like the night train, blowin' its stack Spreading its wings on homeward track Arrived here this morning, won't be here for long As fast as a shooting star, that's' what them eight wheels are for Come on baby lets jump aboard It's a mean piece of transport baby You know that's no joke On board the aging gamble smiles as he peels The seal off a new deck, then he quietly deals Hands round the table from the bottom he slips three Watch yourself if you play this game the fastest card game on wheels Come on, won't you be there when it leaves Can't you hear them talkin' about it together we could race the breeze It shines out a light, in the darkest night To make us feel alright To make us feel alright I've prayed every night That you will wanna go there too Come on darlin', let's go Night is over as the dawn begins to crack Sounds like a hen hatching in a chicken shack Late last night I think I heard a lonely cry Heard the blind owl howling in a moonless sky Come on Won't you be there when it leaves Can't ya hear me talkin' Together we could race the breeze Old engine driver never stepped on the ground Got no degree in geography but he's been around Knows all the back lines, eyes can hardly see Don't tell this man to slow down 'Cause he don't know what you mean Come on Won't you be there when it leaves Can't you hear me talkin baby Together we can race the breeze It shines out a light, in the darkest night To make us feel alright To make us feel alright I've prayed every night That you will wanna go there too Alright Well that sounds like the night train, blowin' its stack Spreading its wheels on homeward track Arrived here this morning, won't be here for long As fast as a shooting star, that's' what them eight wheels are for Won't you be there when it leaves Can't you hear me talkin' baby Together we can race the breeze Can't you hear me talkin' baby Together we can race the breeze Can't you hear me talkin' baby Together we can race the breeze
