I'm leavin' town this morning
Back on a midnight ride
No destination weary
Caught in the same old stride
And oh my lord I'll see you
Ruined by the way
Only to remember
The sideways sins of yesterday

Summertime in Denver
Gonna see some friends of mine
I may hide there 'til September
Fore the leaves begin to die
It don't even matter
The poets seldom heard
I'm gonna board the midnight ferry
And carry on my way with yes the world

Hallelujah, hey
Hallelujah, hey
Hallelujah, hey
Hallelujah, hey

Touching down in Memphis
Gonna find some blue suede shoes
And even though it may seem senseless
It's all that I can do
It don't even matter
The preachers seldom heard
I'm gonna board the midnight ferry
And carry on my way with yes the world

Hallelujah, hey
Hallelujah, hey
Hallelujah, hey
Hallelujah, hey

And it's my last trip through Detroit
Gonna drown away this pain
I got no one left to live for
And no one left to blame
It don't even matter
I don't want the last word
I'm gonna board the midnight ferry
And carry on my way with yes the world
I'm gonna board the midnight ferry
And carry on my way with yes the world

Hallelujah, hey
Hallelujah, hey
Hallelujah, hey
Hallelujah, hey

It don't even matter
I don't want the last word
I'm gonna board the midnight ferry
And carry on my way with yes the world
I'm gonna board the midnight ferry
And carry on my way with yes the world
I'm gonna board the midnight ferry
And carry on my way with yes the world
