Buddy Guy

I was standin at the station
Ten to midnight in the rain
I was minding my own bidness
Waitin for that midnight train
Nobody in sight, starin at my shoes
I took out my paper to find me some good news
Minding my own bidness
When the ticket man calls my name
Yeah, yeah, babe
There aint no midnight train
There aint no midnight train
There aint no midnight train
Comin down the line
So I say, "If it aint too much trouble
Whens the local out of town?"
His reply is "Two a.m."
If Im leavin local-bound
I can catch it in forty minutes
If I want to grab the espress
But the local trains are hard to come by
This time of night, more or less
Listen, said
There aint no midnight train
There aint no midnight train
There aint no midnight train
Comin down the line
(Yeah!)
So I stood for forty minutes
It was raining and it was cold
When the express rolled down the track
I did not care where it was gonna go
Yeah, yeah,
He said
There aint no midnight train
There aint no midnight train
There aint no midnight train
Comin down the line
