I got a letter from my baby today
Tellin’ me what was wrong
She said you’ve been too far away
For too long
Packed my bags went to pay for this room
Quit my job in the afternoon
Got myself a ticket for a midnight train
Tomorrow we will be together again
Bye bye
I am leavin’ tonight
My my
It sure feels right
Bye bye
I’ll be ridin’ tonight
My my
Till this mornin’ light
All of the blankets in the city motel
Couldn’t keep me warm at night
All the liquor all the pretty girls
Couldn’t make me feel all right
I’ve been gone for too many days
I’ve been hurt in so many ways
Got myself a ticket for the midnight train
Tomorrow we will be together again
Bye bye
I am leavin’ tonight…
