Lyrics

She took a night train
Barreling down the delta bound for New Orleans
And the stars shown like candles in the shadows of a young girl’s dream
Staring out the window as the towns flew through the darkness and the steam
Certain everyone in Mississippi could hear that whistle scream

Swaying with the rails below and praying to the Milky Way above
Free to be yourself is something you can’t ever get enough of
Misery turns to magic all the troubles fall behind her like the rain
Now she’s rolling down the track going anywhere but back
She took a night train

The feeling, of passing through while other folks are sleeping
It’s like flying, something about the way it starts a heart to healing
Nothing this side of heaven like a Mississippi dawn
When the Hell you left behind you
Don’t even know you’re gone

Swaying with the rails below and praying to the Milky Way above
Free to be yourself is something you can’t ever get enough of
Misery turns to magic all the troubles fall behind her like the rain
Now she’s rolling down the track going anywhere but back
She took a night train

Swaying with the rails below and praying to the Milky Way above
Free to be yourself is something you can’t ever get enough of
Misery turns to magic all the troubles fall behind her like the rain
Now she’s rolling down the track going anywhere but back
She took a night train

She took a night train
Barreling down the delta bound for New Orleans
And the stars shown like candles in the shadows of a young girl’s dream
