Ballad of the Midnight Hauler

He was a TNT trucker and he missed the turn

And he probably should've died, he was badly burned

And they finally found his leg but it was too late to save

He started drinking with some outdoor friends

They said "We heard you'll probably never drive again

But ya still got those tunes. Why don't you take it to the radio waves?"

He called himself the Midnight Hauler

He had 100,000 watts of power

When a trucker needed comfort, he'd play that song right away

Whether gas, cops, and whores

He did his best to keep those trucks on course

He came to the station at night and left during the day

Midnight won't you play some music

Midnight won't you play some music

Midnight won't you play some music

Midnight won't you play some music

You know your music I'll let you choose it

Midnight won't you play some music

"So this one goes out to Denver Dick

He's feeling all frustrated up on I-76"

And he set the needle down on "It's Time For Me To Fly"

Some say rumor, some say legend

He's usually been seen with some wild women

He's slow to get around, but he's still a pretty speedy guy

Midnight won't you play some music

Midnight won't you play some music

Midnight won't you play some music

Midnight won't you play some music

You know your music I'll let you choose it

Midnight won't you play some music
