Midnight In Montgomery - Josh Turner

Midnight in Montgomery

Silver Eagle, lonely road

I was on my way to Mobile

For a big New Year’s Eve show

Stopped for just a minute

To see a friend outside of town

Put my collar up, I found his name

And felt the wind die down

Then a drunk man in a cowboy hat

Took me by surprise

Wearin' shiny boots, a Nudie suit, and haunting, haunted eyes

He said, «friend, it’s good to see you

It’s nice to know you care»

Then the wind picked up and he was gone

Or was he ever really there

'Cause it’s midnight in Montgomery

Just hear that whippoorwill

See the stars light up the purple sky

Feel that lonesome chill

'Cause when the wind is right

You’ll hear his song

Smell whiskey 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 slowly 'cross the ground

And off somewhere a midnight train is slowly passin' by

I can hear that whistle moanin'

I’m so lonesome I could cry

'Cause it’s Midnight in Montgomery

Just hear that whippoorwill

See the stars light up the purple sky

Feel that lonesome chill

'Cause when the wind is right

You’ll hear his song

Smell whiskey in the air

Midnight in Montgomery

He’s always singin' there

He’s always singin' there

Well, Hank’s always singin' there
