    Story Behind the Song
    A blues tradition about trains coming to take you away to the after-life triggered off the idea for the lyrics to the song, although it was partly the way that the music started to sound instrumentally which triggered off the idea of it being about trains. The lyrics are intended to be fun, as much as anything else.

    Lyrics
    NITE TRAIN RIDE ( lyrics © Martin Glover 2002)

    Coming round the mountain side
    Up from the valley
    Deep and dark and wide

    I hear my train when the cold wind blows
    When the driver sounds the signal
    You better hide

    At Nitefall Station on the mountain track
    The nite train comes for the dead
    And takes them back

    I know when its time for me to go
    When my train comes from the
    Darkness down below

    (Chorus)
    Beyond your superstition
    I take up my position
    on the
    NITE TRAIN RIDE

    Crows and vultures all along the track
    Pick the pieces of
    Those who won’t come back

    I know the driver, I made my deal
    Their gonna find
    My soul is hard to steal

    (Middle 8)

    On Judgement Day you’ll
    Wake up!
    The angels will call you to
    Wake up!
    But don’t look for me
    I’ll BE already gone
