[ IP ] The Night Train

Some folks ride to make their wages 
 Work good jobs and earn good pay 
 Some folks ride to better places 
 Country homes where children play 
 But some folks ride to run away 
 Scared to ride by light of day 
 No one begs those folks to stay 
 So they take the night train 
 
 Had a chance, not long ago 
 Young and eager, could have rode 
 Instead I drank away my dough 
 Party ended, I was broke 
 I am not devoid of hope 
 Could still try, but the days flow 
 The weeks pass by, and the years grow 
 Onward rides the night train 
 
 Slumbering brings no relief 
 The trains so loud it fills my dreams 
 I'm young, I'm smart, and I believe 
 There's more to this, there's destiny! 
 I promise if I could I'd leave 
 But life ai n't fair and it's not free 
 It seems this is the life for me 
 Past me rides the night train
