Midnight in Montgomery
Alan Jackson
Intro riff
midnight in montgomery
silver eagle, lonely roads
Bf
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
Bf
my collar up, I found his name
A?
felt the wind die down
and a drunk man in a cowboy hat
took me by surprise
Bf
wearin' shiny boots, a nudie suit
and haunt, haunted eyes
he said, friend its good to see you
its nice to know you care
Bf
and the wind picked up
and he was gone or was he
A?
ever realy there
'cause its midnight in montgomery
just hear that whipperwhill
see the stars light up the purple sky
A?
feel that lonesome chill
'cause when the wind is right you'll hear his song,
Smell wiskey in the air
C? Bf
Midnight in montgomery
A? Dm
He's always singin' there
Intro riff
I climbed back on that eagle
took one last look around
Bf Dm
red tail lights, shadow moves slow across the ground
off somewhere a midnight train
slowly passes by
Bf
I can hear that whistle blowin'
A?
I'm so lonesome I could cry
nd
well hanks always singin' there
Intro riff
