Well the midnight train can come and go without him; Oh he don't need no taxi back to town. He says he'll just stay right here in this deep old light, Was supposed to meet someone here tonight, Now he's sittin here thinking, Waiting on a dark-eyed gal.
No, he don't mind the rain; he never even noticed And he don't feel the cold, it wouldn't matter anyhow, As a matter of fact he could stay till the break of day, he don't see as he's in anybody's way; He's just sittin here thinking, Waiting on a dark eyed gal.
She said she'd meet him at the station, Don't believe she'll keep him waiting very long Very long. She never was one to let him know her mind, So he'll stay right here, just doing his time Just sitting here thinking, Waiting on a dark eyed gal.
Yeah, the midnight train has come and gone without him, He don't need no taxi back to town. He says he'll just stay right here in this deep old light, Was supposed to meet someone here tonight, Now he's sittin here thinking, Waiting on a dark-eyed gal. Yeah he's just sitting here drinking, Waiting on a dark-eyed gal.
