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
