City To City |
| Now the night train is waitin’to take me away |
| And I’m still feelin’guilty cause you’re wanting me to stay |
| Well I know, how I know, it’s harder on you |
| But you said it yourself, there’s nothing else we could do. |
| When the wheels start turnin', takin’me through the night |
| Out there in the darkness, there’s a star shinin’bright |
| And it makes me feel better just to see it up there |
| I hope you’re 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 you’ve been waiting, but I’ll 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, it’s four hundred miles |
| And I’m bound to wake up every once in a while |
| And it’s then that I call out to some higher power |
| And then I’ll go back to sleep cause I’ll 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) |
| I’m going home (ooooh) tonight… |
