Midnight Special

[Verse 1]

Well, well, well, well, well

Wake up early in the morning hear the ding-dong ring

Comin' walking to the table I see the same damn thing

Knife and fork upon the table, piece of paper in my hand

Nothing I can do about it, I'll get in trouble with the man

[Chorus]

Let the midnight special shine a light on me

Let the midnight special shine it's ever loving light on me

[Verse 2]

If you ever go to Houston you better act right

You better not gamble and you better not fight

'Cause the sheriff will arrest you and he'll carry you down

If they go and find you guilty you're penitentiary bound

[Chorus]

Let the midnight special shine a light on me

Let the midnight special shine it's ever loving light on me

[Verse 1]

Well, well, well, well, well

Wake up early in the morning, hear the ding-dong ring

Comin' walking to the table I see the same damn thing

Knife and fork upon the table, piece of paper in my hand

Nothing I can do about it, I get in trouble with the man

[Chorus]

Let the midnight special shine a light on me

Let the midnight special shine it's ever loving light on me

Let the midnight special

[Verse 2]

If you ever go to Houston you better act right

You better not gamble and you better not fight

'Cause the sheriff will arrest you and he'll carry you down

If they go and find you guilty, well you'll be Sugarland bound

[Chorus]

Let the midnight special shine it's light on me

Let the midnight special shine it's ever loving light on me

I said the midnight special shine a light on me

Let the midnight special shine it's ever loving light on me
