Oo, midnight flyer
Engineer, wont you let your whistle moan?
Oo, midnight flyer
I paid my dues and I feel like travlin on
A runaway team of horses aint enough to make me stay
So throw your rope on another man
And pull him down your way
Make him into someone who can take the place of me
Make him every kind of fool you wanted me to be
Oo, midnight flyer
Engineer, wont you let your whistle moan?
Oo, midnight flyer,
I paid my dues and I feel like travlin on
Maybe Ill go to santa fe, maybe san antone,
Any town is where Im bound any way to get me gone
Dont think about me, never let me cross your mind
cept when you hear that midnight lonesome whistle whine
Oo, midnight flyer
Engineer, wont you let your whistle moan?
Oo, midnight flyer
I paid my dues and I feel like travlin on
I paid my dues and I feel like travlin on
