[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]
