Standard (EADGBE)

Intro riff

midnight in montgomery

silver eagle, lonely roads

I was on my way to mobile

for a big new year's eve show

stopped for just a minute

to see a friend outside of town

my collar up, I found his name

felt the wind die down

and a drunk man in a cowboy hat

took me by surprise

wearin' shiny boots, a nudie suit

and haunt, haunted eyes

he said, friend its good to see you

its nice to know you care

and the wind picked up

and he was gone or was he

ever realy there

Chorus

'cause its midnight in montgomery

just hear that whipperwhill

see the stars light up the purple sky

feel that lonesome chill

'cause when the wind is right you'll hear his song,

Smell wiskey in the air

Midnight in montgomery

He's always singin' there

Intro riff

I climbed back on that eagle

took one last look around

red tail lights, shadow moves slow across the ground

off somewhere a midnight train

slowly passes by

I can hear that whistle blowin'

I'm so lonesome I could cry

Chorus

well hanks always singin' there
