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
WEARIN' SHINY BOOTS
A NUDIE SUIT
AND HAUNTIN' 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 SINGIN' THERE
WELL, I CLIMBED
BACK ON THAT EAGLE
TOOK ONE LAST LOOK AROUND
THROUGH RED TAIL-LIGHTS
THE SHADOW MOVED
SLOW ACROSS THE GROUND
AND OFF SOMEWHERE
A MIDNIGHT TRAIN
IS SLOWLY PASSIN' BY
I COULD HEAR
THAT WHISTLE MOAN
I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY
'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 SINGIN' THERE
YEAH, HE'S
ALWAYS SINGIN' THERE
WELL, HANK'S
ALWAYS SINGIN' THERE
