Well you wake up in the morninWhen the ding-dong ring (ding 'em man, ding 'em)
Go over to the table
Ya see the same old (damn) thing
Knife n' fork upon the table
And nothin' in my pan
Say anything about it
A-get in trouble with the man
Let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
Let the midnight special
Shine an ever lovin' light on me
If you ever go to Houston
Boy, ya better walk right
You better not stagger
And you better not fight
Or the sheriff gon' arrest you
