The Midnight Special Lyrics - Reinvention Highway - Johnny Rivers

You get up in the mornin' 

You hear the ding dong ring 

Yeah, you look upon the table 

You see the same darn thing 

You find no food upon the table 

No pork up in the pan 

But if you say a thing about it 

You'll be in trouble with the man 

Ah, let the midnight special 

Shine her light on me 

Oh, let the midnight special 

Shine its ever-lovin' light on me 

Oh, if you're ever in a Houston 

Oh, you better walk right 

Ah, you better not gamble boy 

I say you better not fight 

You know the sheriff, he'll grab you 

And the boys will pull you down 

And then before you know it now 

You're penitentiary bound 

Ah, let the midnight special 

Shine her light on me 

Ah, let the midnight special 

Shine its ever-lovin' light on me 

Here comes Miss Lucy 

How in the world do you know 

I can tell by her apron 

And by the clothes she wore 

An umbrella on her shoulder 

A paper in her hand 

She's gonna see the warden 

To try to free her man 

Ah, let the midnight special 

Shine her light on me, oh yeah 

Ah, let the midnight special 

Shine its ever-lovin' light on me 

I said, "Let the midnight special 

Shine her light on me 

Uh, let the midnight special 

Shine its ever-lovin' light on me"
