Midnight in Montgomery

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
And a drunk man in a cowboy hat took me by surprise
Wearing shiny boots a Nudi 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
Or was he ever really there

CHORUS
It's midnight in Montgomery
Just hear that whipporwill
See the stars light up the purple sky
Feel that lonesome chill

When the wind is right you'll hear a song
Smell the whiskey in the air
Midnight in Montgomery
He's always singing there

I climbed back on that Eagle
Took one last look around
The red tail lights
The shadow moved slow across the ground
And somewhere a midnight train was slowly passing by
And I heard that whistle moaning
I'm so lonesome I could cry

REPEAT CHORUS

TAG
It's midnight in Montgomery
