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 

   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
