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 just for 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 Nudie 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, he was gone, was he ever really there?
 'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery
 Just hear that whip-poor-will
 See the stars light up the purple sky
 Feel that lonesome chill
 'Cause when the wind is right you'll hear his songs
 Smell whiskey in the air
 Midnight in Montgomery
 He's always singing there
 ♪
 Well, I climbed back on that Eagle, took one last look around
 Through red tail lights, a shadow moved, slow across the ground
 And off somewhere a midnight train is slowly passing by
 I can hear that whistle moan, I'm so lonesome I could cry
 'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery
 Just hear that whip-poor-will
 See the stars light up the purple sky
 Feel that lonesome chill
 'Cause when the wind is right you'll hear his songs
 Smell whiskey in the air
 Midnight in Montgomery
 He's always singing there
 Yeah, he's always singing there
 Oh, Hank's always singing there
