Now, listen just a minute while I sing this song,
Don't you worry baby, it won't take long,
I'm just about ready to draw the line,
So don't be surprised if I leave this time.
Well I'm going north and I'm going south,
I don't want no more of your lying mouth,
I'm hitting the road, gonna ring some bells,
Better know I can do it well.
Midnight train, rambling, rambling,
All night long I'm gambling, gambling,
Losing all my money, well, it really is funny, huh?
Midnight train, rambling, rambling,
All night long I'm gambling, gambling,
Tell you what baby, well you better be moving on.
Well, I really don't know where I'm going for sure,
Ain't got a map, it ain't no tour,
Just heading out to the open sky,
Who knows, I might even die.
Well, now don't you worry your pretty little head,
'Cause you never gave a dang what I did or said,
That's why I'm packing to leave this place,
Can't stand to look at your cheating face.
Midnight train, rambling, rambling,
All night long I'm gambling, gambling,
Losing all my money, well, it really is funny, huh?
Midnight train, rambling, rambling,
All night long I'm gambling, gambling,
Tell you what baby, well you better be moving on.
Well you treated me like a little boy,
And you played around like I was a toy,
Guess you thought I'd have the blues,
Look who's crying, guess you lose.
Midnight train, rambling, rambling,
All night long I'm gambling, gambling,
Losing all my money, well, it really is funny, huh?
Midnight train, rambling, rambling,
All night long I'm gambling, gambling,
Tell you what baby, well you better be moving on.
Midnight train, rambling, rambling,
All night long I'm gambling, gambling,
Losing all my money, well, it really is funny, huh?
Midnight train, rambling, rambling,
All night long I'm gambling, gambling,
Tell you what baby, well you better be moving on.
It's about that time, better be moving on,
Get out of here, better be moving on,
Well that's all she wrote, you better be moving on.
