"Midnight Flyer" lyrics
Kenny Rogers & Dottie West Lyrics
Ooh, midnight flyer
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Ooh, midnight flyer
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on
A runaway team of horses ain't enough to make me stay
So throw your rope on another girl
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
Ooh, midnight flyer
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Ooh, midnight flyer
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on
Maybe I'll go to Santa Fe, maybe to San Antone
Any town is where I'm bound any way to get me gone
Do not think about me, never let me cross your mind
Except when you hear that midnight lonesome whistle whine
Ooh, midnight flyer
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Ooh, midnight flyer
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on
...
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Ooh, midnight flyer
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on
A runaway team of horses ain't enough to make me stay
So throw your rope on another girl
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
Ooh, midnight flyer
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Ooh, midnight flyer
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on
Maybe I'll go to Santa Fe, maybe to San Antone
Any town is where I'm bound any way to get me gone
Do not think about me, never let me cross your mind
Except when you hear that midnight lonesome whistle whine
Ooh, midnight flyer
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Ooh, midnight flyer
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on
...
