The King of the Midnight Show

Verse 1

Down where willows sway in that humid air

Wild young Cathy had a certain flare

Looking for a spark in the timber shadows

Roaming like a predator through the meadows

Pre-Chorus

She found a partner built for the heat

Keeping her high and knockin her off her feet

From a sweaty night till the stars turned gray

They found a rhythm in a brand new way

Chorus

He's thick and steady and he never waits

Swinging low outside those garden gates

He is the king of the midnight show

Every time she whispers he's ready to go

Yeah he's the one who knows her best

Giving that lonely heart a rest

Verse 2

Riding out the summer on a gravel road

Lightening up that heavy spirit load

Bouncing on the bench in a rhythmic trance

Leading her through a deep and dirty dance

Pre-Chorus

They went down to the river bank

Filling up her spirit's empty tank

With the spit and the grit and the wild desire

Setting every single nerve on fire

Chorus

He's thick and steady and he never waits

Swinging low outside those garden gates

He is the king of the midnight show

Every time she whispers he's ready to go

Yeah he's the one who knows her best

Giving that lonely heart a rest

Bridge

Seasons turning from gold to white

Keeping her warm through a winter night

Springtime blossoms and the seeds are sown

Found a devotion she could call her own

Chorus

He's thick and steady and he never waits

Swinging low outside those garden gates

He is the king of the midnight show

Every time she whispers he's ready to go

Yeah he's the one who knows her best

Giving that lonely heart a rest

Hook

Best friend through the night

Doing everything just right

Pounding like a drum

Until the morning has come
