Midnight In Montgomery

Midnight in Montgomery, Silver Eagle, lonely road

I was on my way to Mobile, for a big New Year's Eve show

I stopped for just a minute, to see a friend outside of town

Put my collar up, I found his name, and felt the wind die down

And a drunk man in a cowboy hat took me by surprise

Wearing shiny boots, a

Nudie

suit, and haunting haunted eyes

He said friend it's good to see you, it's nice to know you care

Then the wind picked up and he was gone, was he ever really there?

'Cause it's midnight in

Montgomery

Just hear that whip-poor-will

See the stars light up the purple sky

Feel that lonesome chill

'Cause when the wind is right you'll hear his songs

Smell whiskey in the air

Midnight in Montgomery

He's always singing there

Well I climbed back on that Eagle, took one last look around

Through red tail lights, a shadow moved, slow across the ground

And off somewhere a midnight train is slowly passing by

I can hear that whistle moan,

I'm so lonesome I could cry[Chorus]

'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery

Just hear that whip-poor-will

See the stars light up the

purple sky

Feel that lonesome chill

'Cause when the wind is right you'll hear his songs

Smell whiskey in the air

Midnight in Montgomery

He's always singing there

Yeah, he's always singing there

Oh, Hank's always singing there
