Well, the midnight train can come and go without me
Oh, I don't need no taxi back to town
I think I'll just stay right here in this deep old light
Was supposed to meet someone here tonight
Now I'm sittin’ here thinking, waiting on a dark-eyed gal.

No, I don't mind the rain, I never even noticed
And I don't feel the cold, it wouldn't matter anyhow
As a matter of fact I could stay till the break of day
I don't see as I'm in anybody's way
I'm just sittin here thinking, waiting on a dark eyed gal.

She said she'd meet me at the station
I don't believe she'll keep me waiting, very long, very long
She never was one to let me know her mind
So I'll stay right here, just doing my time
Just sitting here thinking, waiting on a dark eyed gal.

Yeah, the midnight train has come and gone without me
I don't need no taxi back to town
I think I'll just stay right here in this deep old light
Was supposed to meet someone here tonight
Now I'm sittin' here thinking, waiting on a dark eyed gal
Yeah, I'm just sitting here thinking, waiting on a dark-eyed gal.
