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