[Intro]
              

[Verse]

Midnight in Mo

ntgomery
       
Silver Eagle, 

Lonely Road
  
I was on my wa

y to Mobile
      
For a big New 

Year's Eve sho

w

Stopped for ju

st a minute
         
To see a frien

d outside of t

own
   
My collar up, 

I found his na

me

Felt the wind 

die down
      
And a drunk ma

n in a cowboy 

hat

took me by sur

prise
        
wearin' shiny 

boots, a nudie

 suit
    
and haunted, h

aunted eyes

he said, frien

d its good to 

see you
    
its nice to kn

ow you care
        
and the wind p

icked up and h

e was gone or 

was he

ever really th

ere


[Chorus]
            
'Cause it's mi

           
dnight in Mont


gomery
         
Just hear that

           
 whip-poor-wil

l
         
See the stars 

             
light up the p


urple sky

Feel that lone

some chill
              
'Cause when th

  
e wind is righ

t you'll hear 

his song,
      
Smell whiskey 

in the air
         
Midnight in Mo

  
ntgomery
            
He's always si

      
ngin' there


[Verse]

I climbed back

 on that eagle
     
took one last 

look around
        
red tail light

              
s, shadow move

  
s slow across 

the ground

off somewhere 

a midnight tra

in

slowly passes 

by
      
I can hear tha

t whistle blow

in'
       
I'm so lonesom

e I could cry


[Chorus]
            
'Cause it's mi

           
dnight in Mont


gomery
         
Just hear that

           
 whip-poor-wil

l
         
See the stars 

             
light up the p


urple sky

Feel that lone

some chill
              
'Cause when th

  
e wind is righ

t you'll hear 

his song,
      
Smell whiskey 

in the air
         
Midnight in Mo

  
ntgomery
            
He's always si

      
ngin' there
            
He's always si

         
ngin' there
          
Well Hank's al

              
ways singin' t

    
here
