Long train rumbles low in the distance hear it blow Don't engineers know I miss you And they're reminding me how lonely nights can be When it's midnight me and the blues Car's going down the street no traffic jams to meet This time of night they drive right through And they all go right by and they don't know I cry When it's midnight me and the blues Midnight's the loneliest time in the world Me I'm the loneliest guy with no girl These blues began when it ended with you Now it's midnight me and the blues [ guitar + steel ] Jet plane on overhead rumbles my lonely bed Crumbles my lovely dreams of you They don't care that you're gone or if midnight lasts till dawn When it's midnight me and the blues Midnight's the loneliest time in the world... Midnight me and the blues
