Midnight Train To Memphis Lyrics
I was hiding from the sun once again
I was running from the time my friend
I've lost another war
So, I poured one more and went home drunk again
She was up when the key hit the lock
And the clock looked at me just like the devil in disguise
I saw it in her eyes - she’d be gone before the evenin'
So, I poured another strong one and chopped a line from here to Texas
Cause I’ve lost another good one - she’s on the midnight train to Memphis
With a brand new start, I swore I’d love from the heart
I meant to change my ways
But I’ve seen better days than the one’s that’s here this mornin'
With a wife and kids at home with a job some where on some assembly line
I wish I had that life - I bet you wish you had mine
So, let’s pour another tall one and chop a line from here to Texas
Cause I’ve lost another good one - she’s on the midnight train to Memphis
(David Spade)
Dude, what station is this? K snooze? Kid Rock I thought he was the American bad ass
He’s putting me to sleep. Nudge me if he gets over five decibals.
I knew his first album was a good one
But that’s the way I am
And this is how I jam
All across the land from Alabam to bandstand
Doped up rebel with an attitude
Shit
So fuck a bitch
So fuck a bitch
So fuck a bitch
I won’t switch won’t quit my vices
Flip the script cause I’m gonna slice the righteous
Haven’t you heard I don’t refrain
Free as a bird and so I won’t change
Livin it up Givin it up fuckin shit up
What
I’m gonna run my track from the D to Nantucket
So fuck it - If you don’t dig that, you can suck it.
And it don’t
And it don’t
With an old suitcase, I swear I’ll leave this place
I’ll get you back in time
Can’t drink you off my mind. So, I’ll see you when I’m sober.
I been looking for some reasons, but I ain’t found one down in Texas
I been changing with the seasons
Walked in a new line back to Memphis.
the David Spade and rap parts are lame. Kid Rock needs to stick to singing and playing southern rock and metal.
Well, I don't know, I kinda always thought that the David Spade part was a little dose of comic relief after a sorta sad song. But I definitely agree with you about the rap part.
The David Spade and rap part is in there to try and focus on the guy in all of us. We'll be all depressed about something until a guy calls you a pussy for missing a girl. So he's saying, "Oh, I don't need that bitch." when David Spade is laughing at his depressing song. But once that's over, he goes back to wanting his girl back.
i think that this song is cool and i really dont care for the rap part but i think the whole david spade part is really un neccesarry
good song, david spades part bothers me but if it wasn't in there the Kid Rock flipping out and getting angry wouldnt make sense
the David Spade section is pure genius, excellent song
