Buddy Guy Midnight Rain Lyrics

Midnight Rain Lyrics

I was standin' at the station,

ten to midnight in the rain

I was
mindin' my own bus'ness,

waiting for that midnight train



Nobody in sight, starin' at my shoes,

I took out my paper to find me
some good news

Mindin' my own bus'ness,

when the ticket man calls
my name

Yeah, yeah, babe



There ain't no midnight train

There ain't no midnight train

There ain't no midnight train

Comin' down the line



So I say, "If it ain't too much
trouble,

when's the local out of town?"

His reply: "Two a.m."

If I'm leavin' local-bound



I can catch it in forty minutes,

if I want to grab the express

But the local trains are hard to come
by,

this time of night, more or less

Listen, said



There ain't no midnight train

There ain't no midnight train

There
ain't no midnight train

Comin' down the line



So I stood for
forty minutes,

it was raining and it was cold

When the express
rolled down the track,

I did not care where it was gonna go

Yeah,
yeah



He said

There ain't no midnight train

There ain't
no midnight train

There ain't no midnight train

Comin' down the line
