Midnight in Montgomery
Silver eagle, lonely road
I was on my way to Mobile
For a big New Years Eve show

I stopped for just a minute
To see a friend outside of town
Put my collar up, I found his name
And felt the wind die down

Then a drunk man in a cowboy hat
Took me by surprise
Waering shiny boots, a Nudi suit
And haunting haunted eyes

He said, friend
It's good to see you
It's nice to know you care

Then the wind picked up
He was gone
Was he ever really there

[CHORUS]
Cause it's midnight in Montgomery
Just hear that whippoorwill
See the stars light up
The purple sky
Feel that lonesome chill
Cause when the wind is right
You'll hear his songs
Smell whiskey in the air
Midnight in Montgomery
He's always singing there

I climbed back on that eagle
Took one last look around
Through red tail lights
A shadow moved
Slow across the ground

And off somewhere
A midnight train slowly passes by
I could hear that whistle moaning
I'm so lonesome, I could cry

[repeat CHORUS]

He's always singing there
Hank's always singing there
