There's a midnight train that's rolling in I can hear that under and through the wind There's a revelation that's down the tracks No matter when I board, I ain't coming back 'Cause I'm sinking that midnight train The train set go over ride, oh-ooh And I pray that I don't lose my soul On that midnight train On that midnight train Looking out my window at the certain sky I can feel the blood shine in my eyes Another glass of whiskey and a cigarette Before I face the dangers that lie ahead 'Cause I'm sinking that midnight train The train set go over ride, oh-ooh And I pray that I don't lose my soul On that midnight train On that midnight train ♪ 'Cause I'm sinking that midnight train The train set go over ride, oh And I pray that I don't lose my soul On that midnight train On that midnight train
