Midnight rider
Goes out unto the storm
Midnight rider
He's gonna go catch that last train
'Cause it's a lost train
It's a last train
It's a gonna-be-gone-too-fast train
An already-passed train
And it's gonna be gone
Ridin' down the train tracks
Never gonna go back
To the life that he had before that
It's already gone
Ridin' down the train tracks
Never gonna go back
To the life that he had before that
It's already gone
Over the mountains and under the trees
Across the rivers and through the breeze
It's the last train
'Cause it's a lost train
It's a last train
It's a gonna-be-gone-too-fast train
An already-passed train
And it's gonna be gone
Ridin' down the train tracks
Never gonna go back
To the life that he had before that
It's already gone
Ridin' down the train tracks
Never gonna go back
To the life that he had before that
It's already gone
Lost, lost train
Ride into the night
Ride into the night
Ride into the night
Ride into the night
On that lost train
On that last, lost train
On that lost train
On that last, lost train
Ridin' down the train tracks
Never gonna go back
To the life that he had before that
It's already gone
Ridin' down the train tracks
Never gonna go back
To the life that he had before that
It's already gone
Midnight rider
Goes out unto the storm
Midnight rider, yeah
He's gonna go catch that lost
That last train
