Midnight Train Lyrics

[Verse]

I made some money on a dice game

I spent the money on some beer

I picked a lizard up in East Louisiana

Hadn't seen her in a coupla years

I drank a bottle of tequila in the evening

When I woke up I was back on the road

Gonna push this little rig

To Oklahoma with a heavier load

I met a tweaker in the Bad Plains

I bought some methamphetamine

I used a lighter with a little piece of foil

Roll the window up in my little machine

And I got higher than a 747

Lord, it felt like I was flying a planе

This 18 wheelers running

It'sa moving like a passengеr train

[Solo and Chorus]

When the sun goes down

And the coyotes start to howling down the lineYou can smell the diesel burning

When the motor startsa turning

And them cylinders are ready to whine

I'm on the midnight train

Gonna run this little engine off the rails

The highway is the same old heaven

Lord, it's the same old hell

[Verse]

I ain't been sleeping for some days now

And my supply is running low

I called my brother up to see if he was holding

And I told him I had money to blow

He said he knew about a dealer in Durango

But he's leaving in a couple of days

So I'm gonna push this little rig to Colorado

With my mind in a haze

I'm flying ninety down the highway

Headlights are burning down the lineI hear the engine it'sa screaming like an eagle

Gonna make it, just a matter of time

My eyes are heavy and I'm thinking about my baby

Lord, I wish that I could see her again

And I'm driving like a devil

Gonna push the pedal into the wind

[Solo and Chorus]

When the sun goes down

And the coyotes start to howling down the line

You can smell the diesel burning

When the motor startsa turning

And them cylinders are ready to whine

I'm on the midnight train

Gonna run this little engine off the rails

[Outro x4]

The highway is the same old heaven

Lord, it's the same old hell
