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...
