I was on my way to Mobile

For a big New Year's Eve show

Stopped for just a minute

Felt the wind die down

And a drunk man in a cowboy hat

Cadd9

took me by surprise

wearin' shiny boots, a nudie suit

and haunted, haunted eyes

he said, friend its good to see you

Cadd9

its nice to know you care

and the wind picked up and he was gone or was he

ever really there

[Chorus]

Cadd9 Dm

'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery

See the stars light up the purple sky

Feel that lonesome chill

Smell whiskey in the air

off somewhere a midnight train
