Saxon - Midnight Rider lyrics

[Byford/Quinn/Oliver/Dawson/Gill] Ride the silver eagle out of JFK Up the eastern seaboard destination Portland Maine When we saw the people at the concert hall The seats were for five thousand it made us feel so small Midnight rider keeps on rollin' On our journey 'cross the States Midnight rider keeps on rollin' Right on through the USA Stopped off at Niagara taking pictures of the falls Tried to cross the border were accosted by the law People down in Texas from the red hot burning sun They couldn't stand the heatwave but we just kept rollin' on Midnight rider keeps on rollin' On our journey 'cross the States Midnight rider keeps on rollin' Right on through the USA Driving into Nashville on the highway interstate Had a holdup on the freeway we end up being late Flew into Chicago but we never heard the blues Played some rock 'n' roll there then down to Batton Rouge Midnight rider keeps on rollin' On our journey 'cross the States Midnight rider keeps on rollin' Right on through the USA Midnight rider keeps on rollin' On our journey 'cross the States Midnight rider keeps on rollin' Right on through the USA Fought the vigilante at the end of our first tour We made a lot of friends there we'll see them all next year As we fought the big deadline, oh, we won't forget the days We rode the silver eagle right across the USA Midnight rider keeps on rollin' On our journey 'cross the States Midnight rider keeps on rollin' Right on through the USA Midnight rider keeps on rollin' On our journey 'cross the States Midnight rider keeps on rollin' Right on through the USA Midnight rider [Repeat to end]
