Ooh midnight flyer
Engineer won’t you let your whistle moan
Ooh midnight flyer
I’ve paid my dues and I feel like travelin’ on

A runaway team of wild 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

Maybe I’ll stop in Santa Fe maybe in San Antone
Any town is where I’m bound anyway I feel is gone
Don’t ever think about me never let me cross your mind
Exceptin’ when you hear that midnight lonesome whistle whine
