[Intro]
This is it, man, the end of the line
I don't know what happens next
And I don't really give a damn
Tell you what, you figure it out, you let me know
Aight?
You know where to find me
Same place I always been, man
[Verse 1]
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 bar called "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 fear
Every crazy night that you live through so the train could 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 a 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
[Chorus]
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 aches, 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 aches, handcuffs
Cold nights, dark days, hold tight, always
Last stop, last stop, last stop, last stop
[Verse 2]
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, arms in, flask out
Wheels spinning, floor shaking, not another soul in sight
Just a moving diorama of the city on another frozen night
Take your seat and let your mind just unwind son it ain't that tough
The night train feels like the one place where your trouble can't catch up
It'll never criticize you, it'll never ask you why
It'll always come around to pick you up when your life pass 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 where I done gone
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'ma ride this motherfucker till the wheels fall off
[Chorus]
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 aches, 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 aches, handcuffs
Cold nights, dark days, hold tight, always
Last stop, last stop, last stop, last stop
