Midnight In Meridian

It’s just another night pouring out my

soul

to a crowd of people watching TV.

It’s nights like these that I miss those

listening eyes

and her tender arms around me.

‘Cause unloading ain’t the same

to an answering machine.

Lord, it’s midnight in Meridian

and I miss my Mississippi Queen

Well, packing it up and loading on out

Counting my pennies, nickels, and

dimes

Spending it all on gasoline

Worrying I’m just wasting time

‘Cause it’s hard to keep this ol’ heart

fueled

on a mix of doubt and dreams.

‘Cause this moonlit road ahead of me,

I’m afraid of where it leads.

Well, she could put my soul at ease

if she was around to hear my plea

but it’s midnight in Meridian

and I miss my Mississippi Queen

She left my soul to wander all alone.

I wonder why she broke our happy

home.

Well, it’s midnight in Meridian

Well, it’s midnight in Meridian

Well, it’s midnight in Meridian

Well, it’s midnight in Meridian
