Out on the road, ridin' all night
Headin' straight for morning light
I know it's been some time
Gonna get home to you soon, it's alright
[Verse 2]
I know you know my name
Hitchhiking loner vagabond travelin' light
Fire burning through mainline
Going up to the junction, turnin' right
[Bridge]
Ooh, now you're on the midnight train child
You gotta take it by the reins and pull down hard
You know that your heart beats as fast as the band
It's the hitchhiking loner tryin' to get out west
And you know that your heart beats as fast as the band
[Verse 4]
Miles and miles out on the road
Thundering through the country, ease my soul
I know you're doin' alright
You're gonna have to forget that I'm out all night
