Just got into town upon the midnight train

Walking with my sorrows in the wind and rain

Destination never known

Pockets full of nothing in my overcoat

Ventilation in my shoes

Thought of all the good times as an antidote
E A
Man, I really had the blues
F# B E A
What a way to spend a night
F# B E D A D A
Things are really getting tight
Tried to get a ride inside a limousine
Hoping I could rest my feet
Don’t know where you’re going, only where you’ve been
Don’t know who you’re gonna meet
Saw a fella stopping in a silver cloud
Thought it couldn’t be for me
As I turned away, I heard her call out loud
Told me that her seat was free
What a way to spend a night
Things are really getting tight
Took me to a mansion on the edge of town
Told me not to look so sad
Said she couldn’t bear to see me looking down
She gave me everything she had
What a way to spend a night, yeah huh, oh yeah
Things are really getting tight, yeah yeah
What a way, what a way, what a way, what a way, what a way, what a way, what a way, what a way, yeah
What a way
Things are really getting tight, hey, yeah
What a way to spend a night
Yeah
What a way, what a way, yeah
Things are really getting tight
Yeah yeah…
