I was hiding' from the sun once again
I was runnin' from time my friend
I lost another war
So I poured one more
And I went home drunk again
She was up when the key hit the lock
And the clock looked at me
Just like the devil in disguise
I'll saw it in her eyes
She'd be gone before the evening
So I poured another strong one
And chopped a line from here to Texas
'Cause I've lost another good one
She's on the midnight train to Memphis
With a brand new start I swore
I'd love from the heart
I meant to change my ways
But I've seen better days
Than the one that's here this morning
With a wife and kids at home
With a job somewhere on some assembly line
I wish I had that life
I bet you wish you had mine
So let's pour another tall one
And chop a line from here to Texas
'Cause I've lost another good one
She's on the midnight train to Memphis
But that's the way I am
And this is how I jam
All across the land
From Alabam to Band Stand
Doped up rebel with an attitude
Shit
So fuck a bitch
I won't switch
Won't quit my vices
Flip the scrip
Cause I'm going to slice the righteous
Haven't you heard
I don't refrain
Free as a bird
So I won't change
Livin' it up
Givin' it up
Fuckin' shit up
What
I'm gonna run my track
From the D to Nantucket ??????
So fuck it
If you don't dig that
You can suck it
With and old suitcase I swear
I'll leave this place
I'll get you back in time
Can't drink you off my mind
So I'll see you when I'm sober
I've been lookin' for some reason
But I ain't found one down in Texas
I've been changin' with the seasons
Walking a new line back to Memphis
