Midnight Train To Memphis (american Idol Performance) Lyrics - Caleb Lee Hutchinson

Well, judge looked down, gave me forty days 

Instead of the fine that I could not pay 

Said "Walk right, you'll soon be home 

Cross the line, you'll be on your own" 

Forty days of shotguns and barbed wire fences 

Forty nights to sit and listen 

To the midnight train to Memphis 

Well now, whistle blows when the sun comes up 

Head to floor, keep your big mouth shut

Eat your breakfast on the ground 

Work like hell till the sun goes down 

Forty days of shotguns and barbed wire fences 

Forty nights to sit and listen 

To the midnight train to Memphis 

Well now, then for the jury, ten for the judge 

Twenty more to forget my grudge 

When I get to thirty-nine 

That's the longest day in a prisoner's mind 

Forty days of shotguns and barbed wire fences 

Forty nights to sit and listen
