Midnight Train Lyrics

You used to say:"Don't risk your neck"
I know you meant well
but I can't watch birds being shot down
You've taught me how to pray
you've taught me God
but it's only now that I know how much can be
forgiven
You wanted to keep me at your side
I know you meant well
but I needed a woman
When you gave me first money
I know you meant well
I learned the taste of alcohol
Do you hear me
I want to atone for my sins
Do you hear me
that's all I want I really want
that's all I need I really need
I can't be here
it isn't my home
I keep on running away
Don't stop me now
when I get on a midnight train
Don't stop me now
when I want to go my way
