INTRO: G D G
G C G
Love came knockin' one day at my window
D G
I turned my head and looked the other way
C G
A whisper in my head told me I should know
D G
Love is an imaginary day
I fell into her arms down at the station
She said that whistle's moan I should ignore
My soul tells me to travel 'cross the nation
But I can't drive that midnight train no more
C C/G G
Oh I can't drive that midnight train no more
C C/G G D
Her hypnotic power has closed that lonely door
C G Em C
I was followin' those crazy tracks but I'm not sure what for
G D G
And I can't drive that midnight train no more
SOLO
She holds me close when fear drifts in the window
It tells me to let go but hold on strong
Bein' free was always my desire
But I learned freedom is here in this home
Today a boy came tuggin' on my pant leg
He said dad come on let's go outside and play
As I was wrestlin' him the wind was whisperin'
The road is an imaginary way
CHORUS
G D G
I can't drive that midnight train no more
G D G D G
I can't drive that midnight train no more
