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
