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
