Midnight In Montgomery - Hit Crew Masters

Midnight in Montgomery silver eagle lonely road

I was on my way to Mobile for a big New Year's Eve show

I stopped for just a minute to see a friend outside of town

Put my collar up I found his name and felt the wind die down

And a drunk man in a cowboy hat took me by surprise

Wearing shiny boots a Nudi suit and haunting haunted eyes

He said friend it's good to see you it's nice to know you care

Then the wind picked up and he was gone was he ever really there

Cause it's midnight in Montgomery just hear that whippoorwill

See the stars light up the purple sky feel that lonesome chill

Cause when the wind is right you'll hear his songs smell whiskey in the air

Midnight in Montgomery he's always singing there

Well I climbed back on that eagle took one last look around

Through red tail lights the shadow moved slow across the ground

And off somewhere a midnight train is slowly passing by

I could hear that whistle moan I'm so lonesome I could cry

Cause it's midnight in Montgomery just hear that whippoorwill

And see the stars light up the purple sky feel that lonesome chill

Cause when the wind is right you'll hear his songs smell whiskey in the air

Midnight in Montgomery he's always singing there

He's always singing there Hank's always singing there
