Saxon - Midnight Rider lyrics

Ride the silver eagle out of JFK
Up the eastern seaboard
Destination Portland Maine
When we saw the people at the concert hall
The seats were for five thousand it
Made us feel so small

Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
On our journey 'cross the States
Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
Right on through the USA

Stopped off at Niagara taking
Pictures of the falls
Tried to cross the border were
Accosted by the law
People down in Texas from the
Red hot burning sun
They couldn't stand the heatwave but
We just kept rollin' on

Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
On our journey 'cross the States
Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
Right on through the USA

Driving into Nashville on
The highway interstate
Had a holdup on the freeway
We end up being late
Flew into Chicago but we
Never heard the blues
Played some rock 'n' roll there
Then down to Baton Rouge

Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
On our journey 'cross the States
Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
Right on through the USA

Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
On our journey 'cross the States
Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
Right on through the USA

Fought the vigilante at the end
Of our first tour
We made a lot of friends there
We'll see them all next year
As we fought the big deadline, oh
We won't forget the days
We rode the silver eagle right across the USA

Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
On our journey 'cross the States
Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
Right on through the USA
Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
On our journey 'cross the States
Midnight rider keeps on rollin'
Right on through the USA

Midnight rider midnight rider
