VERSE]
I'm LEAVING on the night train
don't know if I'll be back again
Got a one -way ticket and a box-car smell of gin
Well, outside the world looks so dark as hell
You only see the rain FALLING
when the lightening strikes
On the night train, On the night train
I was a stock market king and I drove a big Cadillac
Now, I've got my life tied
to a broom-handle stick and a bag
A mirror reflection on the broken glass
yOU ONLY SEE the tears FALLENg
when the LIGHTENING strikes
On the night train
Lord, on the night train
[CHORUS]
Night train - keep on rollin'
Train, keep a rollin' on
Night Train - keep on rollin'
And lead me to the promise land |
