MIDNIGHT TRAIN

MIDNIGHT TRAIN RUNNIN THROUGH OUR TOWN
DON’T KNOW WHERE IT’S GOING
DON’T KNOW WHERE IT’S BOUND
I ONLY KNOW THAT SOME NIGHT
IN THE MOONLIGHT OR RAIN
I’LL BE RIDING ON THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN

WHEN I WAS A YOUNG BOY
I’D STAY UP LATE AT NIGHT
LISTEN FOR A WHISTLE
AND WATCH OUT FOR A LIGHT
THEN I’D HEAR A VOICE
CALLIN’ OUT MY NAME
IT WASN’T JUST A DREAM
IT WAS THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN

CHORUS & BREAK LIKE VERSE

HEAR THE BULLFROGS SINGIN’
DOWN IN THE OLD STRIP MINE
LOCUST THERE A BUZZIN
ON A STEAMIN’ SUMMER NIGHT
HEAT LIGHTNING FLASHING OFF
OF MY WINDOW PANE
COULD IT BE THE THUNDER
OR THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN
CHORUS
FOR TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS THE ROCK ISLAND LINE
HAS BEEN JUST A MEMORY
ALTHOUGH I’M MUCH OLDER SOMETIMES LATE AT NIGHT
I STILL HEAR IT CALLIN’ ME
