2. Neon signs a-flashing
Taxicabs and buses passing through the night.
The distant moaning of a train,
seems to play a sad refrain to the night.
3. I find me a place in a box car,
so I take my guitar out to pass some time.
Late at night when it's hard to rest,
I hold your picture to my chest and I'm alright.
