Leavin' leavin' on that midnight train

I took all that I can take you're driving me insane

I tried to please you but nothing turns out right

I'll buy a oneway ticket I'm leavin' town tonight



Leavin' you behind there's nothing left to do

You've had your chance now our love is through

I'm glad to know there's no more fuss and fight

You're wasting tears darling I'm leavin' town tonight

Leavin' leavin' on that midnight train...

[ steel - guitar ]

No needing making promises you've never kept before

I made myself believe them but never anymore

All the love in the world would make you do right

Here comes that midnight special I'm leavin' town tonight

Leavin' leavin' on that midnight train...

I'm leavin' town tonight
