Chorus:
Oooo... Midnight Flyer
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan
Oooo... Midnight Flyer
Paid my dues and I feel like travelin' on
A runaway team of wild horses ain't enough to make me stay
So throw your rope on another man and pull him down your way
Make him into someone to take the place of me
Make him ev'ry kind of fool you wanted me to be
(Chorus)
Maybe I'll stop in Sante Fe... maybe San Antone
Any town is where I'm bound... any way to get me gone
Don't think about me... never let me cross your mind
'Cept when you hear that midnight lonesome whistle whine
(Chorus)
