[Verse 1] Midnight in Montgomery, Silver Eagle, lonely road I was on my way to Mobile, for a big New Year's Eve show I stopped for just a minute, to see a friend outside of town Put my collar up, I found his name, and felt the wind die down
[Verse 2] And a drunk man in a cowboy hat took me by surprise Wearing shiny boots, a Nudie suit, and haunting haunted eyes He said friend it's good to see you, it's nice to know you care Then the wind picked up and he was gone, was he ever really there?
[Chorus] 'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery Just hear that whip-poor-will See the stars light up the purple sky Feel that lonesome chill 'Cause when the wind is right you'll hear his songs Smell whiskey in the air Midnight in Montgomery He's always singing there
[Verse 3] Well I climbed back on that Eagle, took one last look around Through red tail lights, a shadow moved, slow across the ground And off somewhere a midnight train is slowly passing by I can hear that whistle moan, I'm so lonesome I could cry
[Chorus] 'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery Just hear that whip-poor-will See the stars light up the purple sky Feel that lonesome chill 'Cause when the wind is right you'll hear his songs Smell whiskey in the air Midnight in Montgomery He's always singing there
[Outro] Yeah, he's always singing there Oh, Hank's always singing thereTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
