Now the night train is waitin to take me away
And Im still feelin guilty cause youre wanting me to stay
Well I know, how I know, its harder on you
But you said it yourself, theres nothing else we could do.

When the wheels start turnin, takin me through the night
Out there in the darkness, theres a star shinin bright
And it makes me feel better just to see it up there
I hope youre thinkin about it, hope you know I still care.

So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home
So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home.

Now I know youve been waiting, but Ill be seeing you soon
Meanwhile I just lay here staring at the moon
And a light made of silver, through my window it creeps
And the train keeps on rollin, and it just rocks me to sleep.

So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home
So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home

So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home.
So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home.

Now from city to city, its four hundred miles
And Im bound to wake up every once in a while
And its then that I call out to some higher power
And then Ill go back to sleep cause Ill be home in an hour.

So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight)
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight)
So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight)
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight)
So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight)
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight)
So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight)
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight)

(fade)
Im going home (ooooh) tonight...
