Well that sounds like the nigh train,
Blowing its stack
Spreadin' its wheels all
Over the track
I arrived this morning , won't be here for long
As fast as a shooting star,
That's what them eight wheels are for
Come on and jump aboard
It's a mean peace of transport, baby
You know that's no joke

On board the aging gambler
Smiles as he peels
The seal off a new deck,
Then he quietly deals
Hands a round the table, from the bottom he slips three
Watch yourself, if you play this game
Fastest card game on wheels
Won't you be there when it leaves?
Can't you hear me talkin' darlin?
Together we can race the breeze

It shines out a light,
In the deepest darkest night
To make us feel alright
To make us feel alright
I've prayed every nigh
That you will want to go there too
Come on darlin',
lets go

Night is over
Dawn begins to crack,
Sounds like a hen hatching
In a chicken shack
Late last night I heard a lonely cry,
Heard the brown owl howling
In a moonless sky
Come on
Can't you hear me talkin' baby?
Together we can race the breeze

Old engine driver
Never stepped on the ground,
Got no degree in geography
But he's been around
Knows all the back-lines, eyes can hardly see
Don't tell this man to slow down
Cause he don't know what you mean
Alright,
Won't you be there when it leaves?
Can't you hear me cryin' honey?
Together we can race the breeze

It shines out a light,
In the darkest night
To make us feel alright,
To make us feel alright
I've prayed every night
