Overnight Sleeper -

GOT A FIRST CLASS TICKET

NOW I’M HEADING WEST

TRAVELLIN' BACK HOME

WHERE FOLKS ALL KNOW ME BEST

BEEN AWAY MANY YEARS

SEEKING OUT MY ROOTS AGAIN

AND THE PEOPLE I KNEW

WAY BACK THEN

LET THE OVERNIGHT SLEEPER

TAKE ME THROUGH THE NIGHT

MY FOLKS SAID, YOU’LL REGRET IT

THE MOON AND STARS

ARE BUT ONE

I THOUGHT THE WORLD

WAS A GREENER PLACE TO FIND

I’LL SOON BE HOME

WITH THE BREAK OF DAY

LEAVE MY TRAVELLING DAYS BEHIND

LET THE OVERNIGHT SLEEPER

TAKE ME THROUGH THE NIGHT

THROUGH THE VALLEYS

AND THE MOUNTAINS TOO

AND THE MANY PLACES THAT I KNEW

LEFT MY FRIENDS

AND THE GIRL I LOVE BEHIND

THEIR ADVICE WAS OFTEN RIGHT

I THINK OF THEM THROUGH THE NIGHT

I KNOW MY PLACE

AND I’LL FIND A PEACE OF MIND

NOW I’VE MADE A LOT OF MONEY

AND I’VE SPENT IT TOO

ON SO MANY THINGS

I WISHED TO DO AND THE GIRL BACK HOME

WHO STOOD BY ME I CAN SEE HER SMILE AND FEEL HER TOUCH

HER GOLDEN HAIR I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE

LET THE OVERNIGHT SLEEPER

ME THROUGH THE NIGHT
