Midnight Train to Memphis

I was hiding from the sun once again

I was running from time, my friend

I lost another war

So I poured one more

And I went home drunk again

She was up when the key hit the lock

And the clock looked at me just like the devil in disguise

I saw it in her eyes

She'd be gone before the evening

So I poured another strong one

And chopped a line from here to Texas

'Cause I've lost another good one

She's on the midnight train to Memphis

With a brand new start

I swore I'd love from the heart

I meant to change my ways

But I've seen better days

Than the one that's here this morning, mhmm

With a wife and kids at home

With a job somewhere on some assembly line

I wish I had that life

I bet you wish you had mine

So let's pour another tall one

And chop a line from here to Texas

'Cause I've lost another good one

She's on the midnight train to Memphis

Dude, what station is this, K snooze?

Kid Rock, I thought he was American Bad Ass

He's putting me to sleep

Nudge me if he gets over five decibels

I knew his first album was the good one

But that's the way I am, and this is how I jam

All across the land from Alabam' to bandstand

Doped up rebel with an attitude, shit

So fuck a bitch, fuck a bitch, fuck a bitch

I won't switch, won't quit my vices

Flip the script 'cause I'm a slice the righteous

Haven't you heard? I don't refrain

Free as a bird, and so I won't change

Living it up, giving it up, fucking shit up, what

I'm a run the track from the D to Nantucket

So fuck it, if you don't dig that you can suck it

Yeah, and it don't

With an old suitcase, I swear I'll leave this place

I'll get you back in time

Can't drink you off my mind

So I'll see you when I'm sober

I been looking for some reason

But I ain't found one down in Texas

I been changing with the seasons

Walking a new line back to Memphis
