As I went ridin' on the all night train
Took it down the street and around the block
Took it downtown baby where the big boys rock
Roll on, roll on
Take me where I can ease my pain
Preacher say boy now where you been?
Getting lead in my pockets putting money in sin
When the mornin' comes not a nickel to my name
Threw it all away on the all night train
Ride, let the passenger ride
Ride, let the passenger ride
I woke up late yesterday afternoon
My eyeballs feeling like two balloons
The doctor say things ain't never gonna change
Till you stop riding that all night train
Ride, let the passenger ride
Ride, let the passenger ride
Took a little trip to keep from going insane
Spent the rest of my life on the all night train
All night train
All night train
All night train
