Midnight Rain lyrics
I was standin at the station,
ten to midnight in the rain
I was mindin my own bus ness,
waiting for that midnight train

Nobody in sight, starin at my shoes,
I took out my paper to find me some good news
Mindin my own bus ness,
when the ticket man calls my name
Yeah, yeah, babe

There ain t no midnight train
There ain t no midnight train
There ain t no midnight train
Comin down the line

So I say, "If it ain t too much trouble,
when s the local out of town?"
His reply: "Two a.m."
If I m leavin local-bound

I can catch it in forty minutes,
if I want to grab the express
But the local trains are hard to come by,
this time of night, more or less
Listen, said

There ain t no midnight train
There ain t no midnight train
There ain t no midnight train
Comin down the line

So I stood for forty minutes,
it was raining and it was cold
When the express rolled down the track,
I did not care where it was gonna go
Yeah, yeah

He said
There ain t no midnight train
There ain t no midnight train
There ain t no midnight train
Comin down the line
