Standin' in the crowd waitin' to get on
Walk to my seat and let myself down
Hearin' people talk bout the day they had
Readin' paper books just sittin' in my lap
The people you meet along the way
Like children on the streets, their afraid to play
See an awkward smile from across the lane
People are so weird, there's never two the same
Running down the dream and gunnin' for the door
Take the night train home... I'm on... my way
Not lookin' back, I'm here to stay
Feelin' all alone, but I'm here in a crowd
Night train's home and I've got self-doubt
Rockin' to and fro, from along the land
Movin' house to house cross Illinois and grand
Watchin' people walk at the Daley place
Problems and worry all over their face
From welder to waitress and people that truck
To people online and down on their luck
Joy and happiness lookin' at their phones
People lonely and feelin' alone
The sound of the track movin' down the line
The feel of the you’re touch never reached my mind
Take the night train home... I'm on... my way
Not lookin' back, I'm here to stay
Feelin' all alone, but I'm here in a crowd
Night train's home and I've got self-doubt
Take the night train home... I'm on... my own
Not lookin' back, I'm here alone
Movin' on myself, but I've got self-doubt
Night train's home and I want to shout
