Midnight Flyer
Midnight Flyer's Journey: A Soul Bound for Freedom
Lyrics
Oooooo, Midnight Flyer
Expressing a longing or fascination with the concept of a Midnight Flyer.
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Asking the train engineer to sound the whistle with a mournful tone.
Oooooo, Midnight Flyer
Reiterating the desire for the Midnight Flyer.
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on
Having paid life's dues, feeling the urge to continue traveling.
A runaway team of horses ain't enough to make me stay
Expressing a determination to move forward despite challenges.
So throw your rope on another man and pull him down your way
Encouraging someone to redirect their attention to another person.
Make him into someone who can take the place of me
Suggesting transforming another person to fill the speaker's role.
Make him every kind of fool you wanted me to be
Reflecting on the speaker's previous role and the changes desired by someone else.
Oooooo, Midnight Flyer
Reiterating the desire for the Midnight Flyer.
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Repeating the request for the engineer to sound the whistle.
Ooooooo, Midnight Flyer
Reiterating the desire for the Midnight Flyer.
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on
Reaffirming the payment of life's dues and the urge to keep traveling.
Maybe I'll go to Santa Fe, maybe San Antone,
Considering potential destinations like Santa Fe or San Antone.
Any town is where I'm bound any way to get me gone
Expressing a willingness to go anywhere to escape the current situation.
Don't think about me, never let me cross your mind
Advising not to dwell on the speaker and to forget about them.
'Cept when you hear that midnight lonesome whistle whine
Remembering the speaker only when hearing the midnight lonesome whistle.
Ooooooo, Midnight Flyer
Reiterating the desire for the Midnight Flyer.
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Requesting the engineer to sound the whistle again.
Oooooooo, Midnight Flyer
Reiterating the desire for the Midnight Flyer.
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on
Reaffirming the payment of life's dues and the urge to keep traveling.
Ooooooo, Midnight Flyer
Reiterating the desire for the Midnight Flyer.
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Requesting the engineer to sound the whistle again.
Oooooooo, Midnight Flyer
Reiterating the desire for the Midnight Flyer.
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on
Reaffirming the payment of life's dues and the urge to keep traveling.
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' oooooon
Final repetition of paying dues and the desire to keep traveling.
