Original lyrics
ENHold on to your dreams,
Your dreams are the place where you want to be,
I hold on to my dreams -
That's the one thing they can't take away from me,
Everyday - we struggle against mediocrity,
And we can't pay the rent,
'Cause the money's all spent,
And you really need to get free;
Day after day we stare in the face of adversity,
You get poked you get shoved,
By some guy up above -
That's just the way it goes;
CHORUS:
Riding on the night train,
Sometimes you feel it's all a waste of time,
Riding on the night train,
The enemy is just a state of mind.
I feel like a freak,
Every moment I work in the factory,
Got the wolf at my door,
And I don't even know what we do this work for,
But I still have a dream, just my girl and me,
All we need's a change of scene,
They can say what they like,
But someday we might,
Swim the river - swim to freedom,
Take a boat and sail to Eden;
Riding on the night train,
Sometimes you feel it's all a waste of time,
Riding on the night train,
The enemy is just a state of mind.
