Midnight Train featuring Johnny Lang

I was standin' at the station,<br /> ten to midnight in the rain<br /> I was mindin' my own bus'ness,<br /> waiting for that midnight train<br /> <br /> Nobody in sight, starin' at my shoes,<br /> I took out my paper to find me some good news<br /> Mindin' my own bus'ness,<br /> when the ticket man calls my name<br /> Yeah, yeah, babe<br /> <br /> There ain't no midnight train<br /> There ain't no midnight train<br /> There ain't no midnight train<br /> Comin' down the line<br /> <br /> So I say, "If it ain't too much trouble,<br /> when's the local out of town?"<br /> His reply: "Two a.m."<br /> If I'm leavin' local-bound<br /> <br /> I can catch it in forty minutes,<br /> if I want to grab the express<br /> But the local trains are hard to come by,<br /> this time of night, more or less<br /> Listen, said<br /> <br /> There ain't no midnight train<br /> There ain't no midnight train<br /> There ain't no midnight train<br /> Comin' down the line<br /> <br /> So I stood for forty minutes,<br /> it was raining and it was cold<br /> When the express rolled down the track,<br /> I did not care where it was gonna go<br /> Yeah, yeah<br /> <br /> He said<br /> There ain't no midnight train<br /> There ain't no midnight train<br /> There ain't no midnight train<br /> Comin' down the line<br /> <br />
