Lookin' outside, see a slitherin' coiled snake Listenin' now to the wheels and the sound they make I'm streaking through the midnight highway rain And I'm leavin' a town and I'm speedin' on to another one again
In the dead of night I slip from town to town Not a soul in sight, only the midnight sounds The miles and miles and miles of dotted lines Will keep leadin' me down to a town, and then I'll be leavin' once again
We're on a - Midnite highway, winding through the midnight rain Midnite highway, take me to my destiny
Speedin' along in a Silver Eagle bus Well the road is long, it's the road we chose for us We can't imagine life worth living staying home We're a rock'n'roll band and we can't be stickin' around, we gotta roam
We're on a - Midnite highway, winding through the midnight rain Midnite highway, take me to my destiny
Take me to another old lonely town, oh mama, sweet mama Wake me with a sweet and gentle sound New York, Chicago, Kansas City to L.A. We keep goin' around and around, we're gonna be leaving once again
We're on a - Midnite highway, winding through the midnight rain Midnite highway, take me to my destiny
