Midnight Train To Memphis Lyrics - Chris Stapleton

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

Twenty more to forget my grudge 

When I get to thirty-nine 

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