Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh, Midnight Flyer
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Ooh, Midnight Flyer
I paid my dues and I feel like travelin' on
[Verse 2]
A runaway team of horses ain't enough to make me stay
So throw your rope on another man
And pull him down your way
Make him into someone to take the place of me
Make him every kind of fool you wanted me to be
[Verse 3]
Ooh, Midnight Flyer
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Ooh, Midnight Flyer
I paid my dues and I feel like travelin' on
[Verse 4]
Maybe I'll go to Santa Fe, maybe San Anton'
Any town is where I'm bound, any way to get me gone
Don't think about me, never let me cross your mind
'Cept when you hear that midnight lonesome whistle whine
[Verse 5]
Ooh, Midnight Flyer
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Ooh, Midnight Flyer
I paid my dues and I feel like travelin' on
[Verse 6]
Ooh, Midnight Flyer
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Ooh, Midnight Flyer
I paid my dues and I feel like travelin' on
I paid my dues and I feel like travelin' on
