Midnight In Montgomery Song Lyrics
Midnight in Montgomery,
Silver Eagle, Lonely Road,
I was on my way to Mobile,
For a big New Year’s Eve show,
Stopped for just a minute,
To see a friend outside of town,
With 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,
Wearin’ shiny boots, a nudie suit, and haunted, 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 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 song,
Smell whisky in the air,
Midnight in Montgomery,
He’s always singin’ there,
******
Well, I climbed back on that eagle,
Took one last look around,
Red tail lights, shadow moves slow across the ground,
And off somewhere a midnight train is slowly passin’ by,
I can hear that wistle moanin’,
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 song,
Smell whisky in the air,
Midnight in Montgomery,
He’s always singin’ there,
He’s always singin’ there
Well, Hank’s always singin’ there….
Midnight In Montgomery Song Chords
Midnight in Montgomery
Silver Eagle, Lonely Road
I was on my way to Mobile
For a big New Year’s Eve show
Stopped for just a minute
To see a friend outside of town
My collar up, I found his name
Felt the wind die down
And a drunk man in a cowboy hat
took me by surprise
wearin’ shiny boots, a nudie suit
and haunted, haunted eyes
he said, friend its good to see you
its nice to know you care
and the wind picked up and he was gone or 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 song,
Smell whiskey in the air
Midnight in Montgomery
He’s always singin’ there
I climbed back on that eagle
took one last look around
red tail lights, shadow moves slow across the ground
off somewhere a midnight train
slowly passes by
I can hear that whistle blowin’
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 song,
Smell whiskey in the air
Midnight in Montgomery
He’s always singin’ there
He’s always singin’ there
Well Hank’s always singin’ there
