Full moon over midnight
Like the thunder she rolls
On a ball of hot steel and flame
Looking for lost souls
She ain't out for the innocents
She don't care for your green
Cause your money can't buy you love
Where this freight has been
So what you got to offer me?
So what you got to say?
When you're called upon to testify
Better get down on your knees and pray
Cause this engine only pulls one way
Aboard the night train
Aboard the night train
Aboard the night train
My God I hear it
Rolling down a long black line
To a world of pain
If the whistle is crying to you
And you answer the call
It'll get you one shot of fame
But mister that is all
Never works like you planned it
That don't mean it's not real
Don't go thinking you'll be pulling out
When you make that deal
So what you got to offer me?
Lord I've come to take my pay
Now you're called upon to testify
Better get down on your knees and pray
Cause this engine only pulls one way
Aboard the night train
Aboard the night train
Aboard the night train
My God I hear it
Rolling down a long black line
Rolling down a long black line
To a world of pain
So what you got to offer me?
So what you got to say?
When you're called upon to testify
Better get down on your knees and pray
Cause this engine only pulls one way
Aboard the night train
Aboard the night train
Aboard the night train
My God I hear it
Rolling down a long black line
Aboard the night train
Aboard the night train
My God I hear it
Rolling down a long black line
Rolling down a long black line
Rolling down a long black line
To a world of pain
A world of pain
Aboard the night train
Going to a world of pain
