Guns N' Roses - Night Train

"Nightrain" is a song written by the American rock band Guns N' Roses in the late 1980s. It's the third song on the band's 1987 debut album, Appetite for Destruction. Although it was released as a single, the song was not included in their best-of album. It reached #93 on the US Billboard charts.The song is a tribute to an infamous brand of cheap Californian wine, Night Train Express, which was extremely popular with the band during their early days, thanks mainly to its low price and high alcohol content.

Lead Vocals: Axl Rose
Lead Guitar: Slash
Bass Guitar: Duff McKagan
Rhythm Guitar: Izzy Stradlin

Lyrics:

Loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain
One more time tonight

Well I'm a west coast struttin'
One bad mother
Got a rattlesnake suitcase
Under my arm
Said I'm a mean machine
Been drinkin' gasoline
And honey you can make my motor hum
Well I got one chance left
In a nine live cat
I got a dog eat dog sly smile
I got a Molotov cocktail with a match to go
I smoke my cigarette with style
An I can tell you honey
You can make my money tonight

Wake up late honey put on your clothes
Take your credit card to the liquor store
That's one for you and two for me by tonight
I'll be loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain
One more time tonight

I'm on the nightrain
Bottoms up
I'm on the nightrain
Fill my cup
I'm on the nightrain
Ready to crash and burn
I never learn
I'm on the nightrain
I love that stuff
I'm on the nightrain
I can never get enough
I'm on the nightrain
Never to return - no

Loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane
Speedin' like a space brain
One more time tonight

I'm on the nightrain
And I'm lookin' for some
I'm on the nightrain
So's I can leave this slum
I'm on the nightrain
And I'm ready to crash an' burn
Nightrain
Bottoms up
I'm on the nightrain
Fill my cup
I'm on the nightrain

Whoa yeah
I'm on the nightrain
Love that stuff
I'm on the nightrain
An I can never get enough
Ridin' the nightrain
I guess I
I guess, I guess, I guess I never learn

On the nightrain
Float me home
Ooh I'm on the nightrain
Ridin' the nightrain
Never to return
Nightrain

@BlanFan2O I'm a girl, and I have a GNR shirt too. Whenever I wear it around my friends, their like: "You like Guns N Roses?" and i'm like: "Duh!!" and their like: "Why??" and i'm like: "Because i don't listen to shit music. I listen to real music." And then they always give me the stink eye and walk away. :3 KEEP REAL MUSIC ALIVE !!! <3

@Thehunterdude75 meeeh, with all the respect i got for Myles Kennedy and to his incredible voice, Axl`s voice is still soo much better in this "harder" rock songs, myles is doing great in like Sweet Child `O Mine but in such as Nightrain or Garden Of Eden Axl just outclasses him. But as I said, Myles is doing great and overall Slash`s "band" is doing so much better than today`s GnR.

[Thehunterdude75]

@916alberto Mmm... I do believe this song was made for Myles Kennedy. Axl Rose just didn't know it.
