Alan Jackson – Midnight In Montgomery Chords

Midnight in Montgomery, silver Eagle, Lonely Road
I was on my way to Mobile, for a big New Year’s Eve show
Stopped for just a minute, to see a friend outside of town
My collar up, I found his name, felt the wind die down

And a drunk man in a cowboy hat took me by surprise
Wearing shiny boots, a nudie suit and haunted, haunted eyes
he said, friend its good to see you, it’s nice to know you care
and the wind picked up and he was gone or was he ever really there

‘Cause it’s midnight in Montgomery, just hear that whip-poor-will.
See the stars light up the purple sky, feel that lonesome chill.
‘Cause when the wind is right you’ll hear his song,
Smell whiskey in the air, midnight in Montgomery.
He’s always singing there…

I climbed back on that eagle, took one last look around.
red tail lights, shadow, moves slow across the ground.
off somewhere a midnight train, slowly passes by.
I can hear that whistle blowing, I’m so lonesome I could cry.

‘Cause it’s midnight in Montgomery, just hear that whip-poor-will.
See the stars light up the purple sky, feel that lonesome chill.
‘Cause when the wind is right you’ll hear his song,
Smell whiskey in the air, midnight in Montgomery.
He’s always singing there, he’s always singing there.
Well Hank’s always singing there…
