Midnight Train Blues (Runaway Version)

[Intro] (Driving blues riff, shuffle groove, punchy drums) --- [Verse 1] Woke up this mornin’, sun hit hard on my face No sign of your lovin’, just an empty space Boots on the floor and the door wide open still You left me with the silence and a whiskey bill --- [Pre-Chorus] Hear that train comin’, rollin’ fast and loud Like a runaway heartbeat cuttin’ through the crowd --- [Chorus] I got those midnight train blues Burnin’ like a runaway fire Yeah, those midnight train blues Got me chasin’ down that wire You left me runnin’ in the dark With nothin’ left to lose Now I’m ridin’ full speed On those midnight train blues --- [Verse 2] Neon lights buzzin’, city don’t sleep tonight Every bar door swingin’, but it don’t feel right Tried to shake your memory with a cheap backbeat But your name keeps echoing in every street --- [Pre-Chorus] Hear that whistle screamin’, cuttin’ through my head Every mile it’s sayin’ what we never said --- [Chorus] I got those midnight train blues Burnin’ like a runaway fire Yeah, those midnight train blues Got me chasin’ down that wire You left me runnin’ in the dark With nothin’ left to lose Now I’m ridin’ full speed On those midnight train blues --- [Bridge] (Guitar solo – fast bends, gritty tone, Texas style) Yeah yeah! Ain’t no slowin’ down this line tonight Steel wheels screamin’ till the mornin’ light --- [Break] (Stop-time groove, claps/snare hits) Hey! — I tried to call your name Hey! — but it don’t sound the same --- [Final Chorus] I got those midnight train blues Runnin’ like a freight train wild Yeah, those midnight train blues Had me lost but now I’m styled If love’s a track that never ends Then I paid my dues Now I’m flyin’ down the line On those midnight train blues --- [Outro] (Fast riff, band hits, energetic finish) Yeah! — midnight train blues! Keep on rollin’!
