Karaoké Midnight Train to Memphis Chris Stapleton

Well, judge looked down gave me forty days

Instead of the fine that I could not pay

Said walk right you'll soon be home

Cross the line you'll be on your own

Forty days of shotguns and barbed wire fences

Forty nights to sit and listen to the midnight train to Memphis

Well now whistle blows when the sun comes up

Head to the floor keep your big mouth shut

Eat your breakfast on the ground

Work like hell 'till the sun goes down

Forty days of shotguns and barbed wire fences

Forty nights to sit and listen to the midnight train to Memphis

Well now

Ten for the jury

Ten for the judge

Twenty more to forget my grudge

When I get to thirty-nine

That's the longest day in a prisoner's mind

Forty days of shotguns and barbed wire fences

Forty nights to sit and listen to the midnight train to Memphis

Midnight train to Memphis

Midnight train to Memphis

Oh

Midnight train to Memphis
