Midnight Man Lyrics

It's funny that there's no comments on any James Gang songs. I was just going to say that I think the lyrics to this song were just written as an after thought just to showcase Joe's nice slow guitar leads in this song. It's not fast but kind of a pretty song even though the lyrics I think were just filler. Just my opinion of course. Maybe someone else sees something deeper than that but I've always felt like the lyrics were just filler here.

Typo. At first I thought it sounded a lot like a contract killer, but as the female vocals might suggest, it's probably about a man cheating with a married woman. "I'm the Midnight Man, I do all I can, To make sure that I am The Midnight Man." and "Midnight Man, you're pretty, Midnight Man, you're fine Midnight Man, be careful..." That's my take anyway.
