Midnight Train (feat. Jonny Lang)

I was standin' at the station

Ten to midnight in the rain

I was mindin' my own business

Waiting for that midnight train

Nobody in sight, starin' at my shoes

I took out my paper to find me some good news

Mindin' my own business

When the ticket man calls my name

Yeah, yeah, babe

There ain't no midnight train

There ain't no midnight train

There ain't no midnight train

Comin' down the line

So I say, "If it ain't too much trouble

When's the local out of town?"

His reply, "2 A.M.

If I'm leavin' local-bound"

I can catch it in forty minutes

If I want to grab the express

But the local trains are hard to come by

This time of night, more or less

Listen, said

There ain't no midnight train

There ain't no midnight train

There ain't no midnight train

Comin' down the line

(Yeah)

So I stood for forty minutes

It was raining and it was cold

When the express rolled down the track

I did not care where it was gonna go

Yeah, yeah

He said

"There ain't no midnight train

There ain't no midnight train

There ain't no midnight train

Comin' down the line"
