Night Train
Jason Aldean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

'Bout a mile off old mill road
That spot nobody knows
We park the truck and we take off running
Hurry up, girl I hear it coming
Got a moon and a billion stars
The sound of steel and old box cars
The thought of you is driving me insane
Come on baby, lets go listen to the night train

Yeah, I hope it's gonna be a long one
And if we're lucky it's moving slow
I wouldn't mind if it lasted all night
Lying next to you on that hillside, lets go

'Bout a mile off old mill road
That spot nobody knows
We park the truck and we take off running
Hurry up girl, I hear it coming
Got a moon and a billion stars
The sound of steel and old box cars
The thought of you is driving me insane
Come on baby, lets go listen to the night train

Let's go listen to the night train

'Bout a mile off old mill road
That spot nobody knows
We park the truck and we take off running
Hurry up, girl I hear it coming
Got a moon and a billion stars
The sound of steel and old box cars
The thought of you is driving me insane
Come on baby, lets go listen to the night train





Let's go listen to the night train

Overall Meaning

In Jason Aldean's song Night Train, the lyrics tell the story of a couple escaping the city and escaping into the quiet of the night. The song speaks of the anticipation for the sun to go down, so they can venture out to their secret spot. Aldean's lyrics are vivid and create a picture of the serene night sky and the sound of train tracks in the background. The singer tells the story of their escape and how they park their truck about a mile off an old mill road where nobody goes; they then take off running towards the sound of night trains. Together, the couple lay on a hillside and listen to the night train. The lyrics depict the beauty of the night and the feelings of a new love that just cannot get enough of each other.


Moreover, the chorus speaks of the excitement they feel for the coming night and their hope that it will last forever.

HONDASBEST I implied that this song will become one of those songs one hears years later that takes them back, also this song is more than a year old.

***** You are so right but i bought this CD the day it came out, as soon as i heard this one it became both my ring tone and ringback tone and still are. My car burned last June and having a 6 cd player all of my Jason Aldean and 1 Miranda Lambert burnt so I went straight out and bought new  ones.. This song does not grow old... 

@Meowschitz
