Midnight Rider

Ride the silver eagle out of

JFK Up the eastern seaboard destination

Portland Maine

When we saw the people at the concert hall

The seats were for five thousand it made us feel so small

Midnight rider keeps on rollin'

On our journey 'cross the

States Midnight rider keeps on rollin'

Right on through the

USA Stopped off at

Niagara taking pictures of the falls

Tried to cross the border were accosted by the law

People down in

Texas from the red hot burning sun

They couldn't stand the heatwave but we just kept rollin' on

Midnight rider keeps on rollin'

On our journey 'cross the

States Midnight rider keeps on rollin'

Right on through the

USA Driving into

Nashville on the highway interstate

Had a holdup on the freeway we end up being late

Flew into

Chicago but we never heard the blues

Played some rock 'n' roll there then down to

Batton Rouge
