On The Night Train

Pour another cup of coffee, try to stay awake
Baby’s gone too long, more than I could take
now she's coming for me on the night train

Made about thousand phone calls begging her return
All I did and didn't do, oh, I swear I learned
now she's coming for me on the night train (2x)

So let it roll... oh let it roll... she's coming home...
On the track past Jackson to the place where she belongs, yeah ... Woo hoo!

She headed to Chicago that cold November night
Searching for herself and for someone to treat her right
now she's coming for me on the night train

Looking back I see the reasons and the seasons and the scars
But wherever you go, baby, there you are
still she's coming for me on the night train (2x)

So let it roll... oh let it roll… 'cause she's coming home
On the Amtrak to Pontiac and back into my arms...

This time... I'll get it right...
I'll do my part... I'll hold her tight...
I'll put her needs... above my own...
So roll on night train - roll on home. ... Woo hoo!

As I pull into the station I hear the whistle down the line
My heart beats to the engine, oh my baby’s right on time
and she's coming for me on the night train

I study every window to catch my baby's eye
Over there - in the doorway… we both begin to cry...

This time... I'll get it right...
I'll do my part... I'll hold her tight...
I'll put her needs... above my own...
So roll on night train – we’re going home!
