  • Worn out vacant motel sign
    Run down bedroom 209
    Tonight that's where I'll try to find
    Some rest

    Whiskey bottle on the floor
    King James Bible from the drawer
    Neither won but Lord they've done their best
    They can't stop the thought of you
    Like a freight train passing through

    Feel the rumbling
    Hear the roar
    My heart it crumbles
    Like a thousand nights before
    And the driving rain of a midnight train passing through

    The wheels are turning in my soul
    Her memory's burning black as coal
    And it's like I'm chained to a midnight train passing through
    All night long
    Til it's dawn
    Then she's gone

    Heatwaves on the rolling hills
    Rise like ghosts of love that's dead
    And haunt this lonesome highway of regret
    Can't slow down I can't look back
    Until this train runs out of track
    You can't outrun that one you can't forget
    It's like I'm frozen in this dream
    While she's closing, gaining speed

    Feel the rumbling
    Hear the roar
    My heart it crumbles
    Like a thousand nights before
    And the driving rain of a midnight train passing through

    The wheels are turning in my soul
    Her memory's burning black as coal
    And it's like I'm chained to a midnight train passing through
    All night long
    Til it's dawn
    Then she's gone

    Feel the rumbling
    Hear the roar
    My heart it crumbles
    Like a thousand nights before
    And the driving rain of a midnight train passing through

    The wheels are turning in my soul
    Her memory's burning black as coal
    It's like I'm chained to a midnight train passing through
    All night long
    Til it's dawn
    Then she's gone Writer/s: MATTHEW ROSSI, MELISSA ANN PEIRCE
