Lyrics:

Ooh, midnight flyer
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Ooh, midnight flyer
I paid the dues and I feel like travelin' on
A runaway team of horses ain't enough to make me stay
So, throw your rope on another man and pull him down your way
Make him into someone to take the place of me
Make him every kind of fool you wanted me to be
Ooh, midnight flyer
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Ooh, midnight flyer
I paid the dues and I feel like travelin' on
Maybe I'll go to Santa Fe, maybe San Antone
Any town is where I'm bound anyway, to get me gone
Don't think about me, never let me cross your mind
Except when you hear that midnight lonesome whistle whine
Ooh, midnight flyer
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Ooh, midnight flyer
I paid the dues and I feel like travelin' on

Ooh, midnight flyer
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Ooh, midnight flyer
I paid the dues and I feel like travelin' on
I paid the dues and I feel like travelin' on
