Midnight Train Lyrics

When the sun goes down
On my side of town
Darkness comes creeping around
That s when you hear the midnight train
Calling out your name
When I was 17
As far as I could see
All that matter is running free
But then I heard that midnight train
Calling out your name

Oh baby, yeah

When I was 21
Could barely shave
And I had a kid on the crib
And another on the way
I lied awake and listening for
The midnight train
Sound like my little boy
Calling out your name
Oh baby, yeah
Some things never change
