Midnight Train to Heartache Lyrics

I bought my ticket at the break of day One way ride to where the sad hearts stay

But when the clock struck twelve beneath that moon so pale

I was boardin' that midnight train, ridin' the rails and fail

Midnight train, a heartache, rollin' down the line

Each track inside, salt and tears are mine

Rumblin' through the sorrow, where lost lovers wane

I'm on that midnight train, a heartache, carryin' my bag

Whistles were lowin' like the howls were there, each stop we make another sin

The conductor knows my name, and my story's all too clear

He see a thousand like me, escapin' from their fear

Midnight train, a heartache, rollin' down the line

Each track inside, salt and tears are mine

From dusk to dawn we travel, through shadows we glide

On that midnight train, a heartache, with regret sittin' by my side

Through the darkened valleys, under stars that never shine

Each train's full of souls, each loss a key in the mind

We share our tales of love lost, our dreams derailed and gone

As this midnight train keeps movin, relentlessly on

Midnight train, a heartache, rollin' down the line

Each track inside, salt and tears are mine

No ticket back to yesterday, no stops for peace of mind

Just this midnight train, a heartache, till the end of the line

So if you're feelin' lonesome, and your heart begins to crack

Beware the lure of the tracks, under the moon's silver light

Cause once you're aboard this journey, from the love you felt to fame

You're just another passenger, on the midnight train, a heartache
