[00:14.76]Midnight in Montgomery, silver eagle, lonely road
[00:21.21]I was on my way to Mobile for a big New Year  s eve show
[00:28.35]I stopped for just a minute to see a friend outside of town
[00:34.65]Put my collar up, I found his name and felt the wind die down
[00:42.03]Then a drunk man in a cowboy hat took me by surprise
[00:48.31]Wearing shiny boots, a Nudi suit and haunting haunted eyes
[00:55.12]He said,  Friend it  s good to see you, it  s nice to know you care 
[01:02.49]Then the wind picked up, he was gone, was he ever really there?
[01:10.56]  
[01:11.18]  Cause it  s midnight in Montgomery, just hear that whippoorwill
[01:23.94]See the stars light up the purple sky, feel that lonesome chill
[01:38.06]  Cause when the wind is right, you  ll hear his songs, smell whiskey in the air
[01:45.44]Midnight in Montgomery, he  s always singing there
[02:04.19]Well I climbed back on that eagle, took one last look around
[02:11.18]Through red tail lights a shadow moved slow across the ground
[02:18.06]And off somewhere a midnight train is slowly passing by
[02:24.50]I could hear that whistle moaning, I  m so lonesome I could cry
[02:32.93]  Cause it  s midnight in Montgomery, just hear that whippoorwill
[02:43.37]
[02:46.37]See the stars light up the purple sky, feel that lonesome chill
[02:57.81]
[03:00.44]  Cause when the wind is right, you  ll hear his songs, smell whiskey in the air
[03:06.00]
[03:07.75]Midnight in Montgomery, he  s always singing there
[03:13.75]
[03:17.93]He  s always singing there, Hank  s always singing there
[03:32.12]
