INTRO: G  D  G 
 
G                  C             G 
Love came knockin' one day at my window 
                     D                G 
I turned my head and looked the other way 
                C               G 
A whisper in my head told me I should know 
            D        G 
Love is an imaginary day 
 
I fell into her arms down at the station 
She said that whistle's moan I should ignore 
My soul tells me to travel 'cross the nation 
But I can't drive that midnight train no more 
 
Chorus -------------
   C                  C/G               G 
Oh I can't drive that midnight train no more 
C            C/G       G                  D 
Her hypnotic power has closed that lonely door 
      C               G                Em                C 
I was followin' those crazy tracks but I'm not sure what for 
    G                  D                 G 
And I can't drive that midnight train no more
--------------------
 
SOLO 

She holds me close when fear drifts in the window 
It tells me to let go but hold on strong 
Bein' free was always my desire 
But I learned freedom is here in this home 
 
Today a boy came tuggin' on my pant leg 
He said dad come on let's go outside and play 
As I was wrestlin' him the wind was whisperin' 
The road is an imaginary way 
 
CHORUS 
 
G                  D                 G 
I can't drive that midnight train no more 
G                  D                 G    D  G 
I can't drive that midnight train no more
