Creedence Clearwater Revival: The Midnight Special

Creedence Clearwater Revival
The Midnight Special
Willy and the Poor Boys


Lyrics:

Well you wake up in the mornin you hear the work bell ring
And they march you to the table to see the same old thing.
Aint no food upon the table and no pork up in the pan.
But you better not complain boy you get in trouble with the man.

Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a everlovin light on me.

Yonder come miss Rosie, how in the world did you know?
By the way she wears her apron, and the clothes she wore.
Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand;
She come to see the govnor, she wants to free her man.

Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
Let the Midnight Special shine a everlovin light on me.

If youre ever in Houston, well, you better do the right;
You better not gamble, there, you better not fight, at all
Or the sheriff will grab ya and the boys will bring you down.
The next thing you know, boy, Oh! Youre prison bound.

Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
Let the Midnight Special shine a everlovin light on me.

Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,
Let the Midnight Special shine a everlovin light on me.

"Wanna see something really scary. . ?"

[tallwhacker614]

@chance501 dude i couldnt agree more.

[JPMcFly1985]

@zombiiebiitchxxx I totally agree. Its been bad since I was in high school in the late 90s. The musical landscape feels so empty and soulless without rock bands.

Funny enough, I used to think those pop-punk bands around 2003 sucked at the time, but now I miss that too since there's practically NO rock.

[zombiiebiitchxxx]

@JPMcFly1985 Really though, what ever happened to rock n roll? Its sad. Besides screamo bands that all the Hot Topic kids listen to; its so sad. This generation has no soul. It sickens me ;_;

This song brings back such great memories.. my grandfather recorded this song from a CD of his to a cassette, and I would sit up all night at 7 years old, listening to this song over and over again, until my mom would yell at me to stop singing so loudly. Twelve years later.. not much has changed. :3
