[instrumental intro] [Verse 1] Well I hear that whistle blowin’, cuttin’ through the night, Steel wheels poundin’, everything’s all right, Got a lonesome ticket, just a dollar and a dime, I’m rollin’ on that midnight line. [Chorus] Roll on, roll on, iron horse keep on time, Carry me home on the clickety-clack rhyme, From the heart of the city to the county line, I’m rollin’, i'm rolling…. on that midnight line. [Verse 2] Mama said “Son, don’t you ramble too far,” But I been chasin’ freedom, ridin’ boxcars, From Memphis down to Dallas, hear the rails all shine, I’m rollin’ on that midnight line. [Chorus] Roll on, roll on, iron horse keep time, Carry me home on the clickety-clack rhyme, From the heart of the city to the county line, I’m rollin’, i'm rolling…. on that midnight line. [instrumental solo] [verse 3] Well the whistle’s moanin’ low, and the moon’s ridin’ high, Every mile I’m closer to the good Lord’s sky, Don’t need no riches, don’t need no sign, Just the rhythm of that midnight line. [Chorus] Roll on, roll on, iron horse keep time, Carry me home on the clickety-clack rhyme, From the heart of the city to the county line, I’m rollin’, i'm rolling…. on that midnight line. [Final Chorus] Roll on, roll on, iron horse keep time, Carry me home on the clickety-clack rhyme, From the heart of the city to the county line, I’m rollin’, i'm rolling…. on that midnight line. I’m rollin’, i'm rolling…. I’m rollin’, i'm rolling…. I’m rollin’, i'm rolling…. I’m rollin’, i'm rolling…. on that midnight line.
