Midnight Train from Saddlebag Songs by Munich Prairie Sons

Standing by the tracks, watching the midnight train roll by,
Its whistle echoes through the stillness of the night,
I think of all the places it’s been and where it’s going,
And wonder if it carries the dreams of those who long to escape.

The rails stretch on into the distance, disappearing into the night,
Like a path that leads to somewhere far away and unknown,
I can’t help but imagine the stories of those who ride the train,
Each one with a reason, a destination, a purpose all their own.

The midnight train carries the hopes of the restless,
Those who seek a new beginning under the cover of darkness,
It travels through the night, leaving the past behind,
And in its wake, it leaves the promise of a brighter dawn.

The sound of the wheels on the tracks is a steady, soothing rhythm,
A reminder that time moves forward, even when we stand still,
I wonder what it’s like to be on that train, watching the world pass by,
Seeing the lights of towns in the distance, knowing you’re moving on.

Sometimes, I think about buying a ticket and stepping on board,
Leaving behind the familiar for the unknown and the new,
But then I remember that I have roots here, deep and strong,
And that not all journeys are meant to be taken by train.

The midnight train carries the hopes of the restless,
Those who seek a new beginning under the cover of darkness,
It travels through the night, leaving the past behind,
And in its wake, it leaves the promise of a brighter dawn.

As the train fades into the distance, its whistle a distant memory,
I turn and walk back home, the night cool and quiet around me,
Knowing that while the train will always pass through this town,
My journey is here, on these streets where I’ve made my life.
