Song lyrics
(Don Sampson - Alan Jackson)

Midnight in Montgomery, silver eagle, lonely road
I was on my way to Mobile for a big New Year's Eve show
I stopped for just a minute to see a friend outside of town
Put my collar up, I found his name, and felt the wind die down.

And a drunk man in a cowboy hat took me by surprise
Wearing shiny boots, a Nudi suit and haunting haunted eyes
He said, ''Friend it's good to see you, it's nice to know you care.''
Then the wind picked up and he was gone
Was he ever really there?

'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery
Just hear that whippoorwill
See the stars light up the purple sky
Feel that lonesome chill
When the wind is right, you'll hear his songs
Smell whiskey in the air
Midnight in Montgomery
He's always singing there.

--- Instrumental ---

I climbed back on my eagle
Took one last look around
Through red tail lights
The shadow moved slow across the ground.

And off somewhere a midnight train
Is slowly passing by
I could hear that whistle moan
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery
Just hear that whippoorwill
See the stars light up the purple sky
Feel that lonesome chill
'Cause when the wind it's right, you'll hear his songs
Smell whiskey in the air
Midnight in Montgomery
He's always singing there.

He's always singing there.

Hank's always singing there...
