Midnight Train To Memphis
I was hiding from the sun once again
I was running from time, my friend, I lost another war
So I poured one more
And went home drunk again
She was up when the key hit the lock
And the clock looked at me just like the devil in disguise
I saw it in her eyes
She'd be gone before the evening
So I poured another strong one
And chopped a line from here to Texas
'Cause I've lost another good one
She's on the midnight train to Memphis
With a brand new start, I swore I'd love from the heart
I meant to change my ways
But I've seen better days
Than the one that's here this morning
With a wife and kids at home
With job somewhere on some assembly line
I wish I had that life
I bet you wish you had mine
So let's pour another tall one
And chop a line from here to Texas
'Cause I've lost another good one
She's on the midnight train to Memphis
Dude, what station is this, K snooze?
Kid Rock, I thought he's an American bad ass
He's putting me to sleep
Nudge me if he gets over five decibels
I knew his first album was the good one
But that's the way I am and this is how I jam
All across the land from Alabam' to bandstand
Doped up rebel with an attitude (shit)
So fuck a bitch, fuck a bitch, fuck a bitch
I won't switch, won't quit my vices
Flip the script 'cause I'mma slice the righteous
Haven't you heard, I don't refrain
Free as a bird so I won't change
Livin' it up, givin' it up, fuckin' shit up (what)
I'mma run my track from the D to Nantucket
So fuck it, if you don't dig that you can suck it
Yeah, and it don't, and it don't
With an old suitcase I swear I'll leave this place
I'll get you back in time
Can't drink you off my mind
So I'll see you when I'm sober
I've been looking for some reason
But I ain't found one down in Texas
I've been changing with the seasons
Walked in a new line back to Memphis
I was running from time, my friend, I lost another war
So I poured one more
And went home drunk again
She was up when the key hit the lock
And the clock looked at me just like the devil in disguise
I saw it in her eyes
She'd be gone before the evening
So I poured another strong one
And chopped a line from here to Texas
'Cause I've lost another good one
She's on the midnight train to Memphis
With a brand new start, I swore I'd love from the heart
I meant to change my ways
But I've seen better days
Than the one that's here this morning
With a wife and kids at home
With job somewhere on some assembly line
I wish I had that life
I bet you wish you had mine
So let's pour another tall one
And chop a line from here to Texas

I've been changing with the seasons
Walked in a new line back to Memphis
