Midnight Flyer

Ooh, midnight flyer

Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?

Ooh, midnight flyer

I paid the dues, and I feel like travelin' on

A runaway team of horses ain't enough to make me stay

So, throw your rope on another man and pull him down your way

Make him into someone to take the place of me

Make him every kind of fool you wanted me to be

Ooh, midnight flyer

Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?

Ooh, midnight flyer

I paid the dues, and I feel like travelin' on

Maybe I'll go to Santa Fe, maybe San Antone

Any town is where I'm bound, any way to get me gone

Don't think about me, never let me cross your mind

'Cept when you hear that midnight lonesome whistle whine

Ooh, midnight flyer

Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?

Ooh, midnight flyer

I paid the dues, and I feel like travelin' on

Ooh, midnight flyer

Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?

Ooh, midnight flyer

I paid the dues, and I feel like travelin' on

I paid the dues, and I feel like travelin' on
