I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout you all day baby
Waitin’ on that sun to go down
Whatcha say I pick you up after work
Slide over we slip out to the outskirts of town
I got a blanket and a fifth of comfort
A little something to knock off the edge
It’s supposed to get a little cool tonight
Looks like I’m gonna have to hold you tight
Yeah…
[Chorus:]
About a mile off old mill road
That spot nobody knows
We park the truck and we take off runnin’
Hurry up, girl I hear it coming
Got a moon and a billion stars
Sound of steel and old boxcars
The thought of you is driving me insane
Come on baby, let’s go listen to the night train
Yeah, I hope it’s gonna be a long one
And if we’re lucky it’s movin’ slow
Wouldn’t mind if it lasted all night
Lyin’ next to you on that hillside
Let’s go…
[Chorus:]
About a mile off old mill road
That spot nobody knows
We park the truck and we take off runnin’
Hurry up, girl I hear it coming
Got a moon and a billion stars
Sound of steel and old boxcars
The thought of you is driving me insane
Come on baby, let’s go listen to the night train
Let’s go listen to the night train
[Chorus:]
About a mile off old mill road
That spot nobody knows
We park the truck and we take off runnin’
Hurry up, girl I hear it coming
Got a moon and a billion stars
Sound of steel and old boxcars
The thought of you is driving me insane
Come on baby, let’s go listen to the night train
Let’s go listen to the night train
Capturing the Magic of Midnight Escapes
“Night Train” by Jason Aldean is a heartfelt ode to those unforgettable, intimate moments shared away from the chaos of everyday life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two lovers seeking solace under the moonlight, escaping to a secret spot on the outskirts of town. The anticipation and excitement are tangible as Aldean describes picking up his partner, bringing a sense of adventure to the night. The sound of the distant train, a recurring motif, adds a romantic and nostalgic layer, symbolizing freedom and the thrill of being together in the stillness of night. The song beautifully blends the rush of young love with the serenity of rural landscapes, inviting listeners to reminisce about their own midnight getaways.
