Midnight Train to Memphis

[Verse 1] I was hiding from the sun once again I was running from time my friend I've lost another war So I poured one more, and 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 saw it in her eyes She'd be gone before the evening [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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, mmhm 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3] Dude, what station is this, K snooze Kid Rock, I thought he was the American bad ass He's putting me to sleep Nudge me if he gets over five decibels I knew his first album was the good one [Verse 4] But that's the way I am, and this is how I jam All across the land from Alabam' to bandstand Doped up rebel with an attitude, shit So fuck a bitch, fuck a bitch, fuck a bitch I won't switch, won't quit no vices Flip the script cause I'm a slice the righteous Haven't you heard I don't refrain Free as a bird, and so I won't change Living it up, giving it up, fucking shit up, what I'm a run the track from the D to Nantucket So fuck it, if you don't dig that you can suck it Yeah, and it don't, and it don't [Verse 5] With an 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 been looking for some reasons But I am not found one down in Texas I been changing with the seasons Walked in a new line back to Memphis
