Midnight Train Songtext
von Jacob Latham

Three-piece suit, Cadillac
I can′t say if I'll be back
The moon, the sun
Jupiter and Mars
The Colonel′s gone to see the clown
And my mind's set to go underground
This eagle's wings only carry me so far

Leaving home on a Friday night
And I don′t know where I′ll sleep tonight
I don't even know what I′m supposed to do
All I really know is I'm going to dream about you


The candle′s burning down as they say
And nighttime slowly has its way
Borrowed light is a debt I'll have to pay
Turn out the light, the party′s over
I can't find a four leaf clover
The ghost of Christmas past has come to stay

Leaving home on a Friday night
And I don't know where I′ll sleep tonight
I don′t even know what I'm supposed to do
All I really know is I′m going to dream about you

Oh, that midnight train to Arkansas
The brakeman, he won't stop at all
The fireman loves to stoke her fast
And the pilot, he lays on the gas
All I really know is I′m going to dream about you

This rocking chair don't feel too right
And I′ve lost all of my appetite
Rock Island Line, you're looking better and better to me


Leaving home on a Friday night
And I don't know where I′ll sleep tonight
I don′t even know what I'm supposed to do
All I really know is I′m going to dream about you
All I really know is I'm going to dream about you
