Ridin' on the rails of the night train son
I fought the bottle and the bottle won
I take it on down to save my pride
Here are my keys, I'm too drunk to drive
Chug-a-lug-a-lug son, drink it up
Lord, you can't stop now, won't be enough
You gotta get to the point of no return
You gotta paint the town or watch it burn
Burn, burn
I'm chasin' down the whiskey on a Friday night
One more bartender and I'll be alright
I stumble my ass through the swingin' doors
Then I make my way down Cumberland Road
Well my feet keep a-walkin' but my mind's lost
I'm gonna make it to the house no matter the cost
There better be some beer, there better be some booze
Just two more blocks before this walk's through
I walk through the door through the smoke and the haze
Looks like all my friends been drinkin' for days
Well somethin' on the counter Lord strikes my eye
There's two shots left son, let's take a ride
Night train (Night train)
I'm chasin' down the whiskey on a Friday night
One more bartender and I'll be alright
I stumble my ass through the swingin' doors
Then I make my way down Cumberland Road
