Midnight Train 歌词

My daddy was a gambler He gambled with his life He didn't give a damn about his wife So she left him in the night time While hiding from the rain I was born on the midnight train Grew up a desperado Grew hair on my chest They said i was the terror of the west Well i didn't have no money And i didn't have no brain So i robbed the midnight train Well the sheriff formed a posse, apaches on my trail He said "hey dude, i'll throw you in my jail" Now i'm sitting here tired To ball and chain I've been caught on the midnight train They made me work the railroad For 16 hours a day I knew i just had to get away (now) how i pulled it off I still can't explain But i escaped the midnight train Now if you would have been there Aboard the midnight train He was rumoured to have died or gone insane Then somebody be smiling No one knew his name But he was born on the midnight train
