Ridin' that midnight train Lyrics

No matter what I say or do
You're never satisfied
I've tried and tried so many times
I'm leavin' you now, goodbye.

I'm ridin' on that midnight train
My head's a-hangin' low
These awful blues will follow me
Wherever I may go.

Oh, why on earth was I ever born?
I'll never understand
To fall in love with a woman like you
In love with another man.

I'm ridin' on that midnight train
My head's a-hangin' low
These awful blues will follow me
Wherever I may go.

You broke the heart that trusted you
Why wasn't it made of stone?
I'm left in a world black as night
Yet I must travel on.

I'm ridin' on that midnight train
My head's a-hangin' low
These awful blues will follow me
Wherever I may go.

I'm ridin' on that midnight train
My head's a-hangin' low
These awful blues will follow me
Wherever I may go

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
