Moanin' Of The Midnight Train (Feat. Butch Hancock, Joe Ely & Jimmie Dale Gilmore)

Sweetheart, your heart is loaded down
with useless burdens and bones 
I can tell by the tear stains on the letter 
you wrote me from the twilight zone 
You ask if I miss you yes, of course I miss you  
I miss you every night or two 
When I hear the Moaning of the Midnight Train  
it reminds me so much of you.

Wandering all alone down the road to roam 
Wondering bout the seeds you sowed
A rock is a rock a hard place is a hard place 
but a road is a road is a road 
You trash it out and clean it up and almost get it right
about the time you're finished and through 
When I hear the Moaning of the Midnight Train  
it reminds me so much of you.

One day it's not enough One day it's too much 
One day it's just a little bit of each 
One day you're face to face and you don't even touch
You walk away when it's well within your reach
With that wall all around you, it was me you let in
You said nobody but nobody would do 
When I hear the Moaning of the Midnight Train, 
it reminds me so much of you.

Scratching out a living Scratching the surface 
It's just the tip of the iceberg, Kid 
The last place you look is where you're gonna find it 
and you don't even know what it is that's hid 
But don't feel so sad you're not doing so bad
I mean you got this far without a clue 
When I hear the Moaning of the Midnight Train, 
it reminds me so much of you.
