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
