Lyrics
'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery
Just hear that whipper wheel
See the stars light up the purple sky
Feel that lonesome chill
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 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 and he was gone, was he ever really there?
'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery
Just hear that whipper wheel
See the stars light up the purple sky
Feel that lonesome chill
'Cause when the wind is right you can hear his songs
Smell whiskey in the air
Midnight in Montgomery
He's always singing there
Well I climbed back on that Eagle, and 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 moanin', I'm so lonesome I could cry
'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery (Midnight)
Just hear that whipper wheel
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
He's always singing there
Hank's always singing there
