Ballad of The Midnight Hauler

He was a TNT trucker and he missed the turn
And he probably should've died, he was badly burned
And they finally found his leg but it was too late to save

He started drinking with some outdoor friends
They said, "We heard, you'll probably never drive again
But you still got those tunes, why don't you take it to the radio waves?"

He called himself "The Midnight Hauler"
He had a hundred thousand watts of power
When a trucker needed comfort, he'd play that song right away

Whether, gas, cops, and whores
He did his best to keep the trucks on course
He came to the station at night and he left during the day

Midnight, won't you play some music?
Midnight, won't you play some music?
Midnight, won't you play some music?

Midnight, won't you play some music?
You know your music, I'll let you choose it
Midnight, won't you play some music?
Midnight, won't you play some music?

So this goes out to Denver Dick
He's feeling frustrated up on I-76
And he set the needle down on "It's time for me to fly"

Some say rumor, some say legend
He's usually been seen with some wild women
He's slow to get around, but he's still a pretty speedy guy

Midnight, won't you play some music?
Midnight, won't you play some music?
Midnight, won't you play some music?

Midnight, won't you play some music?
You know your music, I'll let you choose it
Midnight, won't you play some music?
Midnight, won't you play some music?
