Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain
One more time tonight (look out)
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
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
And I can tell you honey
You can make my money tonight
Wake up late, honey put on your clothes
And take your credit card to the liquor store
Well 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 night train, bottoms up
I'm on the night train, fill my cup
I'm on the night train, ready to crash and burn
I never learn
I'm on the night train, I love that stuff
I'm on the night train, and I can never get enough
I'm on the night train, 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 night train
And I'm lookin' for some
I'm on the night train
So's I can leave this slum
I'm on the night train
And I'm ready to crash and burn
Night train, bottoms up
I'm on the night train, fill my cup
I'm on the night train
Oh oh oh ohh oh yeah
I'm on the night train
Love that stuff
Ooh I'm on the night train
And I can never get enough
Ridin' the night train
I guess I
I guess, I guess, I guess
I never learn
On the night train
Float me home
Ooh, I'm on the night train
Ridin' the night train
Never to return
Night train
Flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain
One more time tonight (look out)
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
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
And I can tell you honey
You can make my money tonight
Wake up late, honey put on your clothes
And take your credit card to the liquor store
Well 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 night train, bottoms up
I'm on the night train, fill my cup
I'm on the night train, ready to crash and burn
I never learn
I'm on the night train, I love that stuff
I'm on the night train, and I can never get enough
I'm on the night train, 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 night train
And I'm lookin' for some
I'm on the night train
So's I can leave this slum
I'm on the night train
And I'm ready to crash and burn
Night train, bottoms up
I'm on the night train, fill my cup
I'm on the night train
Oh oh oh ohh oh yeah
I'm on the night train
Love that stuff
Ooh I'm on the night train
And I can never get enough
Ridin' the night train
I guess I
I guess, I guess, I guess
I never learn
On the night train
Float me home
Ooh, I'm on the night train
Ridin' the night train
Never to return
Night train

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
night train IS a liquor, good stuff...it's about just gettin hammered and not giving a fuck driving drunk and ready to die CRASH & BURN... CHEERS!
