Intro
Verse
Midnight in Montgomery
Silver Eagle, Lonely Road
I was on my way to Mobile
For a big New Year's Eve show
Stopped for just a minute
To see a friend outside of town
My collar up, I found his name
Felt the wind die down
And a drunk man in a cowboy hat
took me by surprise
wearin' shiny boots, a nudie suit
and haunted, haunted eyes
he said, friend its good to see you
its nice to know you care
and the wind picked up and he was gone or was he
ever really there
Chorus
'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery
Just hear that whip-poor-will
See the stars light up the purple sky
Feel that lonesome chill
'Cause when the wind is right you'll hear his song,
Smell whiskey in the air
Midnight in Montgomery
He's always singin' there
Verse
I climbed back on that eagle
took one last look around
red tail lights, shadow moves slow across the ground
off somewhere a midnight train
slowly passes by
I can hear that whistle blowin'
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Chorus
'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery
Just hear that whip-poor-will
See the stars light up the purple sky
Feel that lonesome chill
'Cause when the wind is right you'll hear his song,
Smell whiskey in the air
Midnight in Montgomery
He's always singin' there
He's always singin' there
N.C. Dm
Well Hank's always singin' there
