Well the midnight train can come and go without me;
oh I don`t need no taxi back to town.
I think I`ll just stay right here in this deep old light,
was supposed to meet someone here tonight,
now I`m sittin here thinking,
waiting on a dark-eyed gal.
No, I don`t mind the rain; I never even noticed
and I don`t feel the cold, it wouldn`t matter anyhow,
as a matter of fact i could stay till the break of day,
I don`t see as I`m in anybody`s way;
I`m just sittin here thinking,
waiting on a dark eyed gal.
She said she`d meet me at the station,
don`t believe she`ll keep me waiting very long
very long.
She never was one to let me know her mind,
so I`ll stay right here, just doing my time
just sitting here thinking,
waiting on a dark eyed gal.
Yeah, the midnight train has come and gone without me,
I don`t need no taxi back to town.
I think I`ll just stay right here in this deep old light,
was supposed to meet someone here tonight;
now I`m sittin` here thinking,
waiting on a dark eyed gal;
yeah I`m just sitting here thinking,
waiting on a dark-eyed gal.
