Midnight Train

[Verse]
Midnight train a-rollin' through the dark and cold
Whispers of the past like stories never told
Dusty boots a-movin' on this endless track
Heaven only knows if I'm ever comin' back

[Verse 2]
Shadows on the wall like memories so tall
Every mile I wander makes me feel so small
Heart is like a tumbleweed blown across the plains
Chasin' down a dream through the endless rain

[Chorus]
Midnight train take me where I need to go
Far from the sorrow and the bitter cold
Runnin' from myself and everything I know
Midnight train lead me down a winding road

[Verse 3]
Darkness in the distance where the coyotes cry
Loneliness my partner as the towns go by
Guitar strings a weepin' like a mournful sigh
Singin' to the night beneath a lonesome sky

[Bridge]
Once I had a love but she slipped away
Couldn't find the words to make her stay
Now I chase the moonlight with these hollow eyes
On a midnight train till the morning light

[Chorus]
Midnight train take me where I need to go
Far from the sorrow and the bitter cold
Runnin' from myself and everything I know
Midnight train lead me down a winding road
