Leavin', leavin' on that midnight train
I took all that I can take you're driving me insane
I tried to please you but nothing turns out right
I'll buy a oneway ticket, I'm leavin' town tonight.
Leavin' you behind there's nothing left to do
You've had your chance now our love is through
I'm glad to know there's no more fuss and fight
You're wasting tears, darling, I'm leavin' town tonight.
Leavin', leavin' on that midnight train
I took all that I can take you're driving me insane
I tried to please you but nothing turns out right
I'll buy a oneway ticket, I'm leavin' town tonight.
--- Instrumental ---
No needing making promises you've never kept before
I made myself believe them but never anymore
All the love in the world would make you do right
Here comes that midnight special, I'm leavin' town tonight.
Leavin' leavin' on that midnight train
I took all that I can take you're driving me insane
I tried to please you but nothing turns out right
I'll buy a oneway ticket, I'm leavin' town tonight.
I'm leavin' town tonight...
