Mark Gillespie - Nothing Special Lyrics
Is a train coming round the bendAnd when it comesIt’s going to be the endIt’s the special that comes at midnightTo get the weary and the lameAnd you only get one chanceIt won’t be back againAnd it’s got a white light up the frontAnd behind you can hear the bellAnd pretty soon it’s going to take meOut of this HellBecause when you’re breaking your backThey tell you you’ve got to smileAnd make it all worthwhileYeah, but I’m on the right trackIt’s just a mile, it’s just a while awayI think I hear that train a’comingI’ve got my ticket right here in my handAnd soon I’ll be in the Promised LandAnd I think I hear the Gospel BandGet on board the Midnight SpecialGet on board the Midnight SpecialBut what about the sinner man?Well it had tongues of fireThat were climbing higherAnd wheels like a dynamoIt grew so bigLord I grew so lowAnd all around the ground it shookBut they didn’t even lookAnd it’s starting to rainI’ve got to go back againBecause the train left me behindAin’t nothing special(get on board the Midnight Special)there ain’t nothing special(get on board the Midnight Specialget on board)there’s nothing special in this worldain’t nothing special(oo oo no Midnight Special)no Midnight Special(oo oo no Midnight Special)there’s nothing special in this worldyeahand its light like a fire glowedand steam like frozen snowand it passed me byand I watched it goit grew so big I grew so lowand just like my lifeit comes and goesand thorns always growing with the roseso I cut off my face to spite my noseI cut off my legs just to spite my toesAnd I cut off my chainsAnd I took off my woesAnd I took off my worriesYeah but out of the ashesNo Phoenix rose, girl(get on board the Midnight Special)there ain’t nothing special(get on board the Midnight Specialget on board)hey, there’s nothing special in this worldthere ain’t nothing special(oo oo no Midnight Special)no Midnight Special(oo oo no Midnight Special)there’s nothing special in this world
