Riding on the rails of the night train son I fought the bottle and the bottle won I take it on down to save my pride Here are my keys, I'm too drunk to drive Chug-a-lug-a-lug, son, drink it up Don't stop now it won't be enough You gotta get to the point of no return You gotta paint the town or watch it burn I'm chasin' down the whiskey on a Friday night One more bartender and I'll be alright I stumbled my ass through the swingin' doors And I make my way down Cumberland Road My feet keep a-walkin' but my mind's lost I'm gonna to make it to the house no matter the cost There better be some beer, there better be some booze Just two more blocks before this walk's through I walk through the door through the smoke and the haze Looks like all my friends been drinkin' for days Somethin' on the counter, Lord, strikes my eyes There's two shots left, son, let's take a ride Night train I'm chasin' down the whiskey on a Friday night One more bartender and I'll be alright I stumbled my ass through the swingin' doors And I make my way down Cumberland Road
