I'm gonna make you feel like a star

The midnight train's coming

I hear it from afar

Rolling down the tracks

Like a wish upon a star

I'm leaving this town

I got no place to stay

Chasing down the shadows of yesterday

My suitcase is heavy but my heart's even more

As I wait by the station, I can't ignore

The whistle's blowing, it's calling my name

But the road I'm taking just won't be the same

Oh, that midnight train is my only friend

Taking me away from this bitter end

The blues are falling but I won't look back

I'll ride that train till the night turns black

I've been down this track a time or two

With every ride, I think of you

But this time's different, I'm leaving for good

Out of this town, out of this neighborhood

The moon's my companion, the stars are my guide

As I board this train, no tears left to hide

It's a one-way ticket, no returning sight

Just me and the blues on this lonely night

Oh, that midnight train is my only friend

Taking me away from this bitter end

The blues are falling but I won't look back

I'll ride that train till the night turns black

The moon's my companion, the stars are my guide

As I board this train, no tears left to hide

It's a one-way ticket, no returning sight

Just me and the blues on this lonely night

Oh, that midnight train is my only friend

Taking me away from this bitter end

The blues are falling but I won't look back

I'll ride that train till the night turns black

And the rhythm of the tracks, the hum of the wheels

It's the only thing that now feels real

I'll find peace somewhere down the line

But for now, I'm leaving all behind

Oh, that midnight train is my only friend

Taking me away from this bitter end

The blues are falling but I won't look back

I'll ride that train till the night turns black
