Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

I was hiding from the sun once again,

I was running from the time my friend,

 I've lost another war.

 So, I poured one more,

 and went home drunk again.

She was up when the key hit the lock,

and the clock looked at me just like

 the devil in disguise.

 I saw it in her eyes-

 she'd be gone before the evenin'.

Refrain

So, I poured another strong one

 and chopped a line from here to Texas.

Cause I've lost another good one -

 she's on the midnight train to Memphis.

Verse 2

With a brand new start,

I swore I'd love from the heart,

 I meant to change my ways.

 But I've seen better days,

 than the one's that's here this mornin'.

With a wife and kids at home

with a job some where

 on some assembly line.

 I wish I had that life-

 I bet you wish you had mine.

Refrain

So, let's pour another tall one

 and chop a line from here to Texas.

Cause I've lost another good one-

 she's on the midnight train to Memphis

[Last verse - guitar with moderate distortion]

Verse 3

With an old suitcase,

I swear I'll leave this place

 I'll get you back in time

 Can't drink you off my mind.

 So, I'll see you when I'm sober.

Refrain

I been looking for some reasons,

 but I ain't found one down in Texas

 I been changing with the seasons,

 Walkin’ a new line back to Memphis.
