Josh Turner - Midnight In Montgomery lyrics
[Josh Turner - Midnight In Montgomery lyrics]
Midnight in Montgomery, Silver Eagle
Lonely road i was on my way to Mobile
For a big New Year's Eve show
I 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
Wearing 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 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 songs
Smell whiskey in the air
Midnight in Montgomery
He's always singing there
Well I climbed back on that Eagle
Took one last look around
Through red tail lights, a shadow moved
Slowly 'cross the ground
And off somewhere a midnight train
Is slowly passing by
I can hear that whistle 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 songs
Smell whiskey in the air
Midnight in Montgomery
He's always singing there
He's always singing there
Oh, Hank's always singing there
Lonely road i was on my way to Mobile
For a big New Year's Eve show
I 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
Wearing 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 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 songs
Smell whiskey in the air
Midnight in Montgomery
He's always singing there
Well I climbed back on that Eagle
Took one last look around
Through red tail lights, a shadow moved
Slowly 'cross the ground
And off somewhere a midnight train
Is slowly passing by
I can hear that whistle 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 songs
Smell whiskey in the air
Midnight in Montgomery
He's always singing there
He's always singing there
Oh, Hank's always singing there
