Midnight In Montgomery Lyrics - Genuine: The Alan Jackson Story - Alan Jackson

Midnight in Montgomery, silver eagle, lonely road 

I was on my way to Mobile, for a big New Year's Eve show 

I stopped for just a minute, to see a friend outside of town 

Put my collar up, I found his name, and felt the wind die down 

And a drunk man in a cowboy hat took me by surprise 

Wearing shiny boots, a Nudi suit, and haunting haunted eyes 

He said friend it's good to see you, it's nice to know you care 

Then the wind picked up and he was gone, was he ever really there 

'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery, just hear that whippoorwill 

See the stars light up the purple sky, feel that lonesome chill 

'Cause when the wind is right, you'll hear his songs, smell whiskey in the air 

Midnight in Montgomery, he's always singing there 

Well I climbed back on that eagle, took one last look around 

Through red tail lights, the shadow moved slow across the ground 

And off somewhere a midnight train is slowly passing by 

I could hear that whistle moan, I'm so lonesome I could cry

'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery, just hear that whippoorwill 

And see the stars light up the purple sky, feel that lonesome chill 

'Cause when the wind is right, you'll hear his songs, smell whiskey in the air 

Midnight in Montgomery, he's always singing there 

He's always singing there, Hank's always singing there
