Midnight Train To Memphis by Kid Rock
Tune down 1/2 step, EbAbDbGbBbeb
[Verse 1]
D
I was hiding from the sun once again,
D
I was running from the time my friend,
A
I've lost another war.
G
So, I poured one more,
D
and went home drunk again.
D
She was up when the key hit the lock,
D
and the clock looked at me just like
A
the devil in disguise.
G
I saw it in her eyes-
D
she'd be gone before the evenin'.
[Refrain]
G
So, I poured another strong one
D
and chopped a line from here to Texas.
G
Cause I've lost another good one -
D
she's on the midnight train to Memphis.
[Verse 2]
D
With a brand new start,
D
I swore I'd love from the heart,
A
I meant to change my ways.
G
But I've seen better days,
D
than the one's that's here this mornin'.
D
With a wife and kids at home
D
with a job somewhere
A
on some assembly line.
G
I wish I had that life-
D
I bet you wish you had mine.
[Refrain]
G
So, let's pour another tall one
D
and chop a line from here to Texas.
G
Cause I've lost another good one-
D
she's on the midnight train to Memphis
(Spoken part - rap part - solo - omitted for space purposes)
[Verse 3]
D
With an old suitcase,
D
I swear I'll leave this place
A
I'll get you back in time
G
Can't drink you off my mind.
D
So, I'll see you when I'm sober.
[Refrain]
G
I been looking for some reasons,
D
but I ain't found one down in Texas
G
I been changing with the seasons,
C Bb G
Walkin' a new line back to Memphis.
