Midnight at the Movies Lyrics

By Justin Townes Earle
Well the couple in the corner been goin' at it all night long
Man in the back puttin' bets out over the phone
And I ain't got nowhere to be, ain't nobody waitin' at home for me
And there's nothin' lonelier than midnight at the movies again
There's a girl named Martha that meets me here on Saturday night
Never says too much she just sits down beside me and puts her hand in mine
She's got a gentle way that keeps me from feelin' so lonely
She always shows up late and leaves before the credits roll
Yeah, and i never watch her leave, I just close my eyes and pretend i'm asleep
Until the second feature begins, midnight at the movies again
So it's half price, double feature
Two and a quarter after seven o'clock
And there's no smokin', no drinkin'
Get your candies and your red hots
Get your candies and your red hots
So shut out the lights and tell those fools down front to take a seat
And if you see my Martha tell her i'm in the corner and just wake me if i'm asleep
