I was hiding from the sun once again
I was running from time, my friend
I`ve lost another war
So, I poured one more and went home drunk again

And she was up when the key hit the lock
And the clock looked at me just like the Devil in disguise
I saw it in her eyes
She`d be gone before the evenin`

So, I poured another strong one
And chopped a line from here to Texas
`Cause I`ve lost another good one
She`s on the midnight train to Memphis

With a brand new start, I swore I`d love from the heart
I meant to change my ways
But I`ve seen better days
Than the one`s that`s here this mornin`

With a wife and kids at home
With a job somewhere on some assembly line
I wish I had that life
I bet you wish you had mine

So, let`s pour another tall one
And chop a line from here to Texas
`Cause I`ve lost another good one
She`s on the midnight train to Memphis

Dude, what station is this? K snooze?
Kid Rock, thought he was the American bad ass
He`s putting me to sleep
Nudge me if he gets over five decibels
I knew his first album was a good one

But that`s the way I am
And this is how I jam
All across the land from Alabam to bandstand
Doped up rebel with an attitude s**t

So f**k a bitch
F**k a bitch
F**k a bitch

I won`t switch, won`t quit my vices
Flip the script `cause I`m gonna slice the righteous
Haven`t you heard, I don`t refrain
Free as a bird and so I won`t change

Livin` it up, givin` it up, f**kin` s**t up, what!
I`m gonna run my track from the D to Nantucket
So f**k it, if you don`t dig that, you can suck it

And it don`t

With an old suitcase, I swear I`ll leave this place
I`ll get you back in time
Can`t drink you off my mind
So, I`ll see you when I`m sober

I been looking for some reasons
But I ain`t found one down in Texas
I been changing with the seasons
Walked in a new line back to Memphis
