| [00:22.26] |
I remember the days of growing up |
| [00:27.14] |
When we were young and wild and free |
| [00:32.82] |
With mama and daddy watchin' over us |
| [00:37.70] |
I remember they told me |
| [00:42.86] |
Keep your back to the darkness of this world |
| [00:48.09] |
Always know your own heart, son |
| [00:53.21] |
Tell us, what will you do with your life |
| [00:58.65] |
Oh, when all is said and done |
| [01:04.30] |
And every night, I'd hear the thunder |
| [01:09.42] |
Of the rollin' midnight train |
| [01:14.58] |
And I'd hear that lonesome whistle blow |
| [01:20.64] |
Callin' out my name |
| [01:36.36] |
I remember the day I met my girl |
| [01:41.10] |
When she was all of seventeen |
| [01:47.13] |
Dancin' like an angel |
| [01:51.53] |
To a love song serenade |
| [01:56.92] |
I'd take her ridin' in my daddy's car |
| [02:02.15] |
We'd go deep into those fields |
| [02:08.04] |
And share the secrets of our youth |
| [02:12.81] |
That no darkness could conceal |
| [02:18.14] |
And every night, we'd hear the thunder |
| [02:23.36] |
Of the rollin' midnight train |
| [02:28.94] |
And I'd hold her close and swear our love |
| [02:34.23] |
Could never fade away, oh, yeah |
| [03:01.00] |
Now Barry Glenn, he was my best friend |
| [03:05.68] |
Through those reckless summer days |
| [03:11.04] |
And we rode our bikes to the riverside |
| [03:16.24] |
And wished our lives away |
| [03:21.60] |
When he was eighteen, he joined the Marines |
| [03:26.93] |
But he was too wild to be tamed |
| [03:32.09] |
Yeah, he survived and came back alive |
| [03:38.29] |
But we were never were the same, oh, no |
| [03:46.37] |
Now I'm a man and I understand |
| [03:51.07] |
What it means to be alone |
| [03:56.02] |
But I spend my nights with my own June bride |
| [04:01.49] |
Got a love that's carved in stone |
| [04:06.40] |
So keep your back to the darkness of this world |
| [04:11.80] |
Always know your own heart, son |
| [04:17.13] |
Remember who you are and who you were |
| [04:22.78] |
And where is that you come from |
| [04:28.52] |
Yeah, and I still hear the thunder |
| [04:33.29] |
Of the distant midnight train |
| [04:39.00] |
It's rumblin' down those phantom rails |
| [04:44.72] |
Of my memory |
| [04:49.53] |
Yeah, I still hear the thunder |
| [04:54.17] |
Oh, of a rollin' midnight train |
| [05:00.13] |
And I'd hear that lonesome whistle blow |
| [05:05.60] |
Callin' out my name |
| [05:09.92] |
To roll me home |
| [05:14.94] |
Roll me on down that line |
| [05:20.55] |
Roll me home, roll me on down that line |
| [05:32.28] |
|
