         Midnight in Montgomery
		Alan Jackson


Intro riff


midnight in montgomery

silver eagle, lonely roads
Bf
I was on my way to mobile

for a big new year's eve show

stopped for just a minute

to see a friend outside of town
Bf
my collar up, I found his name
?
felt the wind die down


and a drunk man in a cowboy hat

took me by surprise
Bf
wearin' shiny boots, a nudie suit

and haunt, haunted eyes

he said, friend its good to see you

its nice to know you care
Bf
and the wind picked up

and he was gone or was he
?
ever realy there

Chorus
			    
'cause its midnight in montgomery
		       
just hear that whipperwhill
				
see the stars light up the purple sky
?
feel that lonesome chill

'cause when the wind is right you'll hear his song,
	
Smell wiskey in the air
?		Bf
Midnight in montgomery
?		      
He's always singin' there

Intro riff


I climbed back on that eagle

took one last look around
Bf					
red tail lights, shadow moves slow across the ground

off somewhere a midnight train

slowly passes by
Bf
I can hear that whistle blowin'
?
I'm so lonesome I could cry

Chorus

End

			    
well hanks always singin' there
