midnight train

worn out vacant motel sign, run down bedroom 209, tonight that's where i'll try to find, some rest, whiskey bottle on the floor, king james bible from the drawer, neither won but lord they've done their best, they can't stop the thought of you, like a freight train passing through, feel the rumbling, hear the roar, my heart it crumbles, like a thousand nights before, and the driving rain of a midnight train passing through, the wheels are turning in my soul, her memory's burning black as coal, it's like i'm chained to a midnight train passing through, all night long, til it's dawn, then she's gone, heatwaves on the rolling hills, rise like ghosts of love that's dead, haunt this lonesome highway of regret, can't slow down i can't look back, until this train runs out of track, you can't outrun that one you can't forget, it's like i'm frozen in this dream, while she's slowly gaining speed, feel the rumbling, hear the roar, my heart it crumbles, like a thousand nights before, and the driving rain of a midnight train passing through, the wheels are turning in my soul, her memory's burning black as coal, it's like i'm chained to a midnight train passing through, all night long, til it's dawn, then she's gone, feel the rumbling, hear the roar, my heart it crumbles, like a thousand nights before, and the driving rain of a midnight train passing through, the wheels are turning in my soul, her memory's burning black as coal, it's like i'm chained to a midnight train passing through, all night long, til it's dawn, then she's gone
