Late at night,
when the moon is low
and the stars are big and bright
The whole wide world just comes down
to what I see in my headlights
I'm alone but I'm not lonely
Cause I've got good company
In my old midnight special and me
When I'm tired I talk to her
And maybe hum a song
And sure enough before you know
She's a hummin' ride -along
We don't need no cassette machine,
radio, or CB
My old midnight spe cial and
My old midnight special and me
We've been together so long now,
she's just like family
At least I'm with her more than
the wife and kids I hardly see
My old midnight special and
And you know,
on those long dark nights
when I'm steamin' down the road
I get to thinkin' things
I never think about at home
And I wonder if there's someone
up there somewhere
Who can see my old
midnight special and me
Yes, you know, on those long dark nights
When I'm steamin' down the road
I get to thinking things I'd
never think about at home
And if there really is a heaven,
then I reckon it must be
Just like my old midnight special and me
And if there really is a heaven
Then I reckon it must be
Just like my old midnight special and me
