I'm a long, long way from my home
Mendin' a broken heart
Runnin' away from a love gone wrong
Tryin' to make a new startAn old friend called me up to say
That you've made some wedding plans
I'm comin' home on that midnight train
Fight for you like a manMidnight train make your whistle blow
Engineer pour your load of coal
Midnight train make your engine whine
Midnight train get me home on timeOh, the thought of another man holdin' you
Is drivin' me insane
My only chance is to ride all night
I can't let you change your nameNow, hey, conductor we can't be late
Rollin' on down the track
'Cause you know tomorrow's your wedding day
Gotta win my baby backMidnight train make your whistle blow
Engineer pour your load of coal
Midnight train make your engine whine
Midnight train get me home on timeAh, let's goMidnight train make your whistle blow
Engineer pour your load of coal
Midnight train make your engine whine
Midnight train get me home on time
