Bruno Deneckere - nighttrain lyrics

rate me

<b>nighttrain</b> by <i>Bruno Deneckere</i><br />There's a shadow climbin' up them hills

I've seen it's been through the mill

We follow the mighty river as we roll

The nighttrain's gonna take me home

The nighttrain's gonna take me home

I'll try to put my letter in the mail

As soon as I get off of these roaring rails

There's still five-hundred miles to go

And my thoughts are with the one back home

My thoughts are with the one back home

The sun is sinkin' down in the lake

There's red,yellow,purple,blue and grey

There's but one thing more beautiful that I know

And that's the girl waitin' for me back home

that girl waitin' for me back home

There's a black couple wantin' the go to bed

So I'm down the isle smokin' cigarettes

There are people singin' songs from long ago

Just like me they're headin' for home

Just like me they're headin' for home

With one-hundred miles away from bein' with you

I shave myself like a fresh groom would do

I brush my teeth and run that comb

I'm good and ready for the one back home

I'm good and ready for the one back home

I get off at the end of the line

To be greeted by that pretty babe of mine

But there have not been eight hours in the day

And I leave my baby home alone to stay

I leave my baby home alone to stay
