Lyrics

I been think in’ ’bout you all day, (Bb)ba by,

It’s sup posed to get a lit tle cool to night.

Looks like I’m gon na have to hold you tight.

Let’s go.

’Bout a mile off Old Mill Road, that spot no bod y knows.

We park the truck and we take off run nin’.

Hur ry up, girl, I hear it com in’.

Got a moon and a bil lion stars, the sound of steel and old box cars.

The thought of you’s driv in’ me in sane.

Come on, ba by, let’s go lis ten to the night train.

I Yeah, I hope it’s gon na be a long one.

And if we’re luck y, it’s mov in’ the (Bb)slow.

Would n’t mind to if it last tle ed all night, lyin’ next I’m to na you on that hill side.

Let’s go.

’Bout a mile off Old Mill Road, that spot no bod y knows.

We park the truck and we take off run nin’.

Hur ry up, girl, I hear it com in’.

Got a moon and a bil lion stars, the sound of steel and old box cars.

The thought of you’s driv in’ me in sane.

Come on, ba by, let’s go lis ten to the night train.

Come on, ba by, let’s go lis ten to the night

’Bout a mile off Old Mill Road, that spot no bod y knows.
