Lyrics Charlie Daniels

Charlie Daniels

Midnight Wind

He blew in town at midnight

And he didn't mean to stay

And then he found her

Just at closing time at the Alamo Cafe

And the way he smiled and carried on

He kinda made her day

So by the time that she left

He left with her

And she let him borrow money

And she let him drive her car

She didn't really trust him

But she done and gone too far

When the midnight moon is shining

When it's shining down the way

Well, if he blew in on the midnight wind

He may never pass this way again

She knew down in her heart

That he would only stay awhile

But sometimes she was a woman

And sometimes she was a child

Then just about the time

That she was learning how to smile

One Tuesday night

He came up missing

And sometimes now she thinks

She hears his footsteps cross the floor

But it's just that midnight wind

Howling around the door

When the midnight moon is shining

When it's shining down the way

Well, if he blew in on the midnight wind

He may never pass this way again

When the midnight moon is shining

When it's shining down the way

Well, if he blew in on the midnight wind

He may never pass this way again
