Midnight Train

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

This whistle cuts through Georgia pine

Moonlight on a rusted rail

I left her crying in Mobile

That was ten long years ago

Pre-Chorus

Every crossing brings me closer

To the ghost I left behind

Chorus

Midnight train keeps rolling south

Same old rhythm in my mouth

Memories like gravel stones

I carry them alone

Post-Chorus

Alone

Alone

Verse 2

Found a job in Biloxi

Washing dishes for a dime

She wrote me once in February

Said she'd found somebody kind

Pre-Chorus

I hope she's happy where she's sleeping

I'm still learning how to be

Chorus

Midnight train keeps rolling south

Same old rhythm in my mouth

Memories like gravel stones

I carry them alone

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Then I saw the sunrise bleeding

Orange through the Mississippi haze

And I felt something quiet breaking

Like a chain that's gone to rust

Chorus

Midnight train keeps rolling south

But I'm finally turning 'round

Scars are just the road I've known

I'm not as heavy as I was before

Post-Chorus

Before

Before
