Alan Jackson - Midnight In Montgomery Lyrics
(alan jackson/don sampson)Midnight in montgomery, silver eagle, lonely roadI was on my way to mobile for a big new years eve showI stopped for just a minute to see a friend outside of townPut my collar up, found his name, and felt the wind die downThen a drunken man in a cowboy suit took me by surpriseWaering shiny boots, a nudi suit and haunting haunted eyesHe said friend its good to see you, its nice to know you careThen the wind picked up and he was goneWas he ever really therecause its midnight in montgomeryJust hear that whippoorwillSee the stars light up the purple skyFeel that lonesome chillWhen the wind its right, youll hear his songsSmell whiskey in the airMidnight in montgomeryHes always singing thereI climbed back on my eagle, took one last look aroundThrough red tail lights a shadow moved slow across the groundOff somewhere a midnight train is slowly passing byI could hear that whistle moaningIm so lonesome I could crycause its midnight in montgomeryJust hear that whippoorwillSee the stars light up the purple skyFeel that lonesome chillWhen the wind its right, youll hear his songsSmell whiskey in the airMidnight in montgomeryHes always singing thereHes always singing thereHanks always singing there
