I was known as a gambler
I had one-way games
Never needed nobody
I was strong on my own
Thought I was such an ace
Until I found my sin
On a midnight train

Starin' out of the window
Feelin' lonely and blue
On a train bound for nowhere
Just a-thinkin' of you
Don't care where I'm goin'
Don't care what I do
On a midnight train

Big long train
Keep
Rollin' on
Through the night
Through the rain
Put my stakes up
Way too high
And I'm never goin' back
There again
On a midnight train

I'm gamble each dollar
I'm gamble each cent
All I could do is wonder
Where my happiness went
I don't care about dollars
I don't care about cents
On a midnight train

Big long train
Keep
Rollin' on
Through the night
Through the rain
Put my stakes up
Way too high
And I'm never going back
There again
On a midnight train
On a midnight train
On a midnight train
