Now listen just a minute while i sing this song,
donand't you worry baby it wonand't take long.
iand'm just about ready to draw the line,
so donand't be surprised if i leave this time.
Well iand'm goinand' north and iand'm goinand' south
donand't want no more of your lyinand' mouth.
iand'm hittinand' the road, gonna ring some bells,
better know i can do it well.
Chorus:
midnight train, ramblinand' ramblinand'
all night long iand'm gamblinand', gamblinand'
been losinand' all my money and it really is funny, umm badda dum.
midnight train, ramblinand' ramblinand'
al night iand'm gamblinand', gamblinand'
well tell you what baby, well you better be movinand' on.
Well i really donand't know where iand'm goinand' for sure,
ainand't gotta map, it ainand't no tour.
just headinand' out to the open sky,
who knows, might even die.
Well donand't you worry your pretty little head
and'cause you never gave a dang what i did or said.
thatand's why iand'm packinand' to leave this place
canand't stand to look at your cheatinand' face.
Chorus
Well you treated me like a little boy
and played around like i was a toy.
guess you thought iand'd have the blues,
look whose cryinand', guess you lose.
Chorus (twice)
itand's about that time, better be movinand' on
