Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well well well well well
Wake up early in the morning
In the ding-dong ring
Coming walking to the table
I see the same damn thing
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Let the midnight special
Shine the light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever loving light on me
[Verse 4]
If you ever go to Houston
You better act right
You better not gamble
And you better not fight
[Verse 5]
Because the Sheriff will arrest you
And he'll carry you down
If they go and find you guilty
You're penitentiary bound
[Verse 6]
Let the midnight special
Shine the light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever loving light on me
[Verse 7]
Wake up early in the morning
In the ding-dong ring
Coming walking to the table
I see the same damn thing
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Let the midnight special
Shine the light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever loving light on me
[Verse 10]
Let the midnight
[Verse 11]
Well if you ever get to Houston
You better act right
You better not gamble
And you better not fight
[Verse 12]
Because the Sheriff will arrest you
And he'll carry you down
If they go and find you guilty
Will you be Sugarland bound
[Verse 13]
Let the midnight special
Shine this light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever loving light on me
[Verse 14]
Yes, let the midnight special
Shine the light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine its ever loving light on me
