"Ballad Of The Midnight Hauler" lyrics

He was a TNT trucker and he missed the turn
And he probably should've died, he was badly burned
And they finally found his leg but it was too late to save
He started drinking with some outdoor friends
They said "We heard you'll probably never drive again
But ya still got those tunes. Why don't you take it to the radio waves?"

He called himself the Midnight Hauler
He had 100,000 watts of power
When a trucker needed comfort, he'd play that song right away
Whether gas, cops, and whores
He did his best to keep those trucks on course
He came to the station at night and left during the day

Midnight won't you play some music
Midnight won't you play some music
Midnight won't you play some music

Midnight won't you play some music
You know your music I'll let you choose it
Midnight won't you play some music

"So this one goes out to Denver Dick
He's feeling all frustrated up on I-76"
And he set the needle down on "It's Time For Me To Fly"
Some say rumor, some say legend
He's usually been seen with some wild women
He's slow to get around, but he's still a pretty speedy guy

Midnight won't you play some music
Midnight won't you play some music
Midnight won't you play some music

Midnight won't you play some music
You know your music I'll let you choose it
Midnight won't you play some music
