Midnight Special

[Verse 1]
Well, well, well, well, well
Wake up early in the morning hear the ding-dong ring
Comin' walking to the table I see the same damn thing
Knife and fork upon the table, piece of paper in my hand
Nothing I can do about it, I'll get in trouble with the man

[Chorus]
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine it's ever loving light on me

[Verse 2]
If you ever go to Houston you better act right
You better not gamble and you better not fight
'Cause the sheriff will arrest you and he'll carry you down
If they go and find you guilty you're penitentiary bound

[Chorus]
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine it's ever loving light on me

[Verse 1]
Well, well, well, well, well
Wake up early in the morning, hear the ding-dong ring
Comin' walking to the table I see the same damn thing
Knife and fork upon the table, piece of paper in my hand
Nothing I can do about it, I get in trouble with the man

[Chorus]
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine it's ever loving light on me
Let the midnight special

[Verse 2]
If you ever go to Houston you better act right
You better not gamble and you better not fight
'Cause the sheriff will arrest you and he'll carry you down
If they go and find you guilty, well you'll be Sugarland bound

[Chorus]
Let the midnight special shine it's light on me
Let the midnight special shine it's ever loving light on me

I said the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine it's ever loving light on me
