Midnight In Montgomery

Midnight in Montgomery Silver eagle, lonely Road Was on my way to Mobile For a big New Year's Eve show And 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, 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 moan' 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 - Alan Jackson
