[Intro] (Soft electric guitar, bending notes, slow groove) --- [Verse 1] Woke up this mornin’, sky was cold and gray Coffee on the table, but the warmth had slipped away Got your picture starin’, from the other side of time Now every tickin’ second feels like it’s a crime --- [Pre-Chorus] I hear that whistle blowin’, down the broken track Every mile it’s callin’, but you ain’t comin’ back --- [Chorus] I got those midnight train blues Rollin’ deep inside my soul Yeah, those midnight train blues Ain’t no place left I can go You left me stranded in the dark With nothin’ but these worn-out shoes And a heart that keeps ridin’ On those midnight train blues --- [Verse 2] Streetlight flickers, shadows dance alone Every corner whispers, sayin’ “boy, she’s gone” Tried to drown the memory in a bottle of cheap wine But your ghost keeps knockin’, sayin’ “you were mine” --- [Pre-Chorus] Hear that engine cryin’, like a wounded man Every note it’s playin’, I don’t understand --- [Chorus] I got those midnight train blues Rollin’ deep inside my soul Yeah, those midnight train blues Ain’t no place left I can go You left me stranded in the dark With nothin’ but these worn-out shoes And a heart that keeps ridin’ On those midnight train blues --- [Bridge] (Guitar solo – expressive, bending, slow and emotional) Ohhhh yeah… Train keeps rollin’, don’t know where it leads Got a pocket full of sorrow and a heart that bleeds --- [Break] (Strip down – just guitar + vocal) If I could turn that engine ‘round… I’d bring you back to me somehow… --- [Final Chorus] I got those midnight train blues Burnin’ like a midnight flame Yeah, those midnight train blues And I’m the only one to blame Tracks keep hummin’ your goodbye Like an endless sad tattoo And my soul keeps ridin’ On those midnight train blues --- [Outro] (Slow fade with guitar, train sound in background) Yeah… those midnight train blues… Never let me go…
