Put a quarter in the jukebox
I don't care what song you pick
Make sure it's a nice long one
So it ain't gone too quick
Something i can sing along with
While i sit and toss a couple back
Thinking about the good times
And the hard times
And the times i just chuckle at
Tell me all about your life
Cause i done heard enough about mine
Sitting here in the --- bullshit
Like it ain't nothing outside
Funny how it all flies by
All the things you thought would never come
Memories that you can't quite place
Friends, that you never get a letter from
Everybody that you love, every little thing you feel
Every crazy night that you live through
So they're trying to bring you here
Bet you didn't see it coming, did you?
Bet you wonder what comes next
Well i would love to give you some advice, son
But i ain't got none left
Putting on a smile can be like trying to get old car to start
Life is tough and the first hundred years are the hardest part
Here's a twenty, pay the man
But don't go taking that change
Cause it's all the money that i got left
And i gotta make the last train
Look back, one breath, one life, none left
Next stop: Nowhere, no plan, don't care
Sad scene, first tears, bad dream, worst fears
Man up, don't cry, good friend, goodbye
Fistfights, no pain, streetlights, cocaine
Mistakes, bad luck, wrist tapes, handcuffs
Cold nights, dark days, hold tight, always
Last stop, last stop, last stop, last stop
Look back, one breath, one life, none left
Next stop: Nowhere, no plan, don't care
Sad scene, first tears, bad dream, worst fears
Man up, don't cry, good friend, goodbye
Fistfights, no pain, streetlights, cocaine
Mistakes, bad luck, wrist tapes, handcuffs
Cold nights, dark days, hold tight, always
Last stop, last stop, last stop, last stop
Put your ticket in the turnstile
I don't care what train comes next
I've been riding these tracks my whole life and i ain't done yet
Back and forth, day and night
Memorized every last route
Head down, hood up, --- in, flask out
Wheels spinning, floor shaking,
Not another soul in sight
Just a moving --- city on another frozen night
Check your seat and let your mind just unwind son it ain't that tough
The night train feels like the warm place where your trouble can't catch up
It will never criticize you, it will never ask you why
It will always come around to pick you up when your life passes you by
Gotta forget what you should have done
Don't sweat what you should have known
The night train don't go backwards
Gotta keep, keep pushing on
I don't got a clue where i'm going
All i know is what i've done ---
Don't remember when i'm getting off
Barely remember where i jumped on
Don't give a damn where i'm going
But i'm gonna get there at all costs
In the meantime i'm about this motherfucker until the wheels fall off
Look back, one breath, one life, none left
Next stop: Nowhere, no plan, don't care
Sad scene, first tears, bad dream, worst fears
Man up, don't cry, good friend, goodbye
Fistfights, no pain, streetlights, cocaine
Mistakes, bad luck, wrist tapes, handcuffs
Cold nights, dark days, hold tight, always
Last stop, last stop, last stop, last stop
Look back, one breath, one life, none left
Next stop: Nowhere, no plan, don't care
Sad scene, first tears, bad dream, worst fears
Man up, don't cry, good friend, goodbye
Fistfights, no pain, streetlights, cocaine
Mistakes, bad luck, wrist tapes, handcuffs
Cold nights, dark days, hold tight, always
Last stop, last stop, last stop, last stop...
