MIDNIGHT, ME AND THE BLUES

 

Recorded by:  Mel Tillis

 

Submitted by:  Thomas Rivers

 

(Verse 1)

 

CARS GOING DOWN THE STREET, NO TRAFFIC JAMS TO MEET

 

THIS TIME OF NIGHT THEYLL DRIVE RIGHT THROUGH

 

AND THEY ALL GO RIGHT BY, AND THEY DONT KNOW I CRY

 

WHEN ITS MIDNIGHT, ME AND THE BLUES.

 

 

 

(Chorus)

 

MIDNIGHTS THE LONELIEST TIME IN THE WORLD

 

ME, IM THE LONELIEST GUY WITH NO GIRL

 

THESE BLUES BEGAN WHEN IT ENDED WITH YOU

 

NOW ITS MIDNIGHT, ME AND THE BLUES

 

 

 

(Verse 2)

 

JET PLANE LOW OVERHEAD, RUMBLES MY LONELY BED

 

CRUMBLES MY LOVELY DREAMS OF YOU

 

THEY DONT CARE THAT YOURE GONE, OR IF MIDNIGHT LASTS TIL  DAWN

 

WHEN ITS MIDNIGHT, ME AND THE BLUES
