"My Old Midnight Special (And Me)" lyrics

Late at night, when the moon is low and the stars are big and bright
The whole wide world just comes down to what I see in my headlights
I'm alone, but I'm not lonely, 'cause I've got good company
In my ol' midnight special and me

When I'm tired, I talk to her, and maybe hum a song
And sure enough, before you know, she's a-hummin' right along
We don't need no cassette machine, radio, or CB
My ol' midnight special and me

My ol' midnight special and me
We've been together so long now, she's just like family
At least, I'm with her more than the wife and kids I hardly see
My ol' midnight special and me

And you know, on those long dark nights when I'm steamin' down the road
I get to thinkin' things I never think about at home
And I wonder if there's someone up there somewhere who can see
My ol' midnight special and me

Yes, you know, on those long dark nights when I'm steamin' down the road
I get to thinkin' things I never think about at home
And if there really is a Heaven, then I reckon it must be
Just like my ol' midnight special and me
And if there really is a Heaven, then I reckon it must be
Just like my ol' midnight special and me
