[Verse] There was a train cutting through the dark Silver rain falling over sparks It felt alive Oh it felt alive [Chorus] Rolling like a midnight railroad Rolling like a midnight railroad Rolling like a midnight railroad Ooh ooh ooh ooh [Male voice Scat bridge] [Verse 2 FEMALE VOICE] Smoky lights dancing over old coats That rusty wagon cried like soft notes And the night rolled by Oh the night rolled by [Chorus] Rolling like a midnight railroad Rolling like a midnight railroad Rolling like a midnight railroad Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh [House and jazz horns and piano break] [Bridge] He had a storm behind his eyes A traveler smile in disguise That set the sleeping sky on fire He had a storm behind his eyes A traveler smile in disguise That set the sleeping sky on fire [Chorus] Rolling like a midnight railroad Rolling like a midnight railroad Rolling like a midnight railroad Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh [Outro - crazy male voice scat]
