Night Train
(E. Stucky, B. Rea)
Erik Stucky Live Featuring the Pitch Meeting Band
She took a night train
Barreling down the delta bound for New Orleans
The stars shown
like diamond in the eyes of a young girls dream
Staring out the window
As the towns flew through the darkness and the steam
Certain everyone in Mississippi
Could hear that whistle scream
Chorus
Swaying with the rails below
And staring at the Milky Way above
Free to be yourself is something
You can't ever get enough of
Misery turns to magic
All the troubles fall behind her like the rain
Now she's rolling down the track
Going anywhere but back
She took a night train
The feeling
Of passing through while other folks are sleeping
It's like flying
Something 'bout the way it starts a heart to healing
Nothing the side of heaven
Like a Mississippi dawn
When the hell you left behind you
Don't even know you're gone
Swaying with the rails below
And staring at the Milky Way above
Free to be yourself is something
You can't ever get enough of
Misery turns to magic
All the troubles fall behind her like the rain
Now she's rolling down the track
Going anywhere but back
She took a night train
Chorus
She took a night train
Barreling down the delta bound for New Orleans
The stars shown
like diamond in the eyes of a young girls dream
