Midnight Train Songtext / Lyric

Worn out vacant motel sign

Run down bedroom 209

Tonight that's where I'll try to find

Some rest



Whiskey bottle on the floor

King James Bible from the drawer

Neither won but lord they've done their best

They can't stop the thought of you

Like a freight train passing through



Feel the rumble

Hear the roar

My heart it crumbles

Like a thousand nights before

And the driving rain of a midnight train passing through






The wheels are turning in my soul

Her memory's burning black as coal

It's like I'm chained to a midnight train passing through

All night long

Til it's dawn

Then she's gone



Heatwaves on the rolling hills

Rise like ghosts of love that's dead

Haunt this lonesome highway of regret

Can't slow down I can't look back

Until this train runs out of track

You can't outrun that one you can't forget

It's like I'm frozen in this dream

While she's slowly gaining speed



Feel the rumble

Hear the roar

My heart it crumbles

Like a thousand nights before

And the driving rain of a midnight train passing through



The wheels are turning in my soul

Her memory's burning black as coal

It's like I'm chained to a midnight train passing through

All night long

Til it's dawn

Then she's gone



Feel the rumble

Hear the roar

My heart it crumbles

Like a thousand nights before

And the driving rain of a midnight train passing through



The wheels are turning in my soul

Her memory's burning black as coal

It's like I'm chained to a midnight train passing through

All night long

Til it's dawn

Then she's gone
