F C
From a hill I watch the night trains
Bb C/G
Rush into the darkness
F C Bb C/G
There for just one moment of time
Freight cars disappearing just like the friends I lost
Tearing through the heartlands, beating down the line
C Bb Bb/A Bb Bb/A
One day I want to ride that train
C Bb Bb/A Bb Bb/A
One day I want to feel that way again
Bb C
F C
Bb
But nothing lasts like the lies of a friend
C F
Where the day is just a memory and the night has no end
She travelled north from Texas to the great plains of
Nebraska
When the courts denied her stepfather bail
I took her out to Lone Tree where it overlooks the
river
And watched those night trains snake through the hills
(chorus)
Dm C
We walked every road in this one sideshow town
Bb C
Promised forever we’d never look back
Dm C
Through movies and music and nights in the park
Bb C
It seemed we were flying and falling and rising
Dm Bb
Together and never to part
Dm C Bb
Together like sunshine we’d light up the dark in this
town
C F
While our souls and our hearts were on the night trains
I saw the way she looked at him and I knew that she was
leaving
Her letter said she was never coming back
And God I miss those evenings, dreaming we were
something
Now there’s just a pale moon and a thousand miles of
track
One day I’m gonna ride that train
One day I want to see your face again
But nothing lasts like the lies of a friend
It’s like riding on the night train when the night has
no end
