Engineer, wonāt you let your whistle moan?
Oo, midnight flyer
I paid my dues and I feel like travālinā on
A runaway team of horses aināt enough to make me stay
So throw your rope on another man
And pull him down your way
Make him into someone who can take the place of me
Make him every kind of fool you wanted me to be
Oo, midnight flyer
Engineer, wonāt you let your whistle moan?
Oo, midnight flyer,
I paid my dues and I feel like travālinā on
Maybe Iāll go to santa fe, maybe san antone,
Any town is where Iām bound any way to get me gone
Donāt think about me, never let me cross your mind
ācept when you hear that midnight lonesome whistle whine
Oo, midnight flyer
Engineer, wonāt you let your whistle moan?
Oo, midnight flyer
I paid my dues and I feel like travālinā on
I paid my dues and I feel like travālinā on
