[Verse] Riding rails through the night under neon glow Whistling tunes as the engine roars below Jazz clubs beckon like lights from the dark Sacramento horizon feels so far [Verse 2] Brass blasts cutting through the chill night air Pounding rhythm driving round my despair Hot blues seeps through fingers onto cold steel strings Rail stations echo our melodies [Chorus] Hop on the midnight train to nowhere land Jazz and blues soak our travelin' band Sierra Nevadas whisperin' dreams so grand Steam engine's roar like our music's stand [Verse 3] Be-bop beats thump from Fresno to the bay Club to club blowing souls away Soulful sax carrying stories unsaid Bass lines booming from the day gonna spread [Verse 4] Cold rail bridges sway under endless dream Rolling wheels like our broken hearts scream Wind carries whispers of city lights ahead Jazz clubs waiting lips painted in red [Chorus] Hop on the midnight train to nowhere land Jazz and blues soak our travelin' band Sierra Nevadas whisperin' dreams so grand Steam engine's roar like our music's stand
