Discover the story of the song > Night Train – Tab Benoit

The protagonist in the song is comparing himself to a night train, saying he's unstoppable and on a journey that spans nine hundred miles. He's determined to keep going until the morning. He talks about having a fire inside him and being like a smoking track through Memphis. He says he's not interested in trouble, but he's keeping one eye on the crossroad as he continues on his journey. He wants everyone to hear him coming and knows he won't stop until morning light.
