Get your ticket at the station,
Well, you know I have to leave you,
Let the midnight special to
Houston, oh, you better walk right
Well, you better not stagger,
Cause the sheriff will arrest you,
You can bet your bottom dollar,
you're penitentiary bound
Wake up early in the morning,
Let the midnight special,
When you wake up in the morning,
Don't wanna work, but I gotta go
Don't wanna leave my baby,
Well, you take it at the station,
Well, you know I have to leave you,
