Midnight Lyrics

I�ve not a dollar to my name
Mister could you share a little change
It�s getting cold and I�m alone
Just a little help on your way home

I used to sell carpets down in Georgia
Makin� good money for me and my gal
I came home from work early
I wish to the lord I would have called

A tortured month in Atlanta
No escape from the pain
I squandered all that I was given
Gonna go were no one knows my name

Chorus

Now it�s midnight under the railroad tracks
One eye open, watchin� my back
There�s only one for me to blame
I never thought life would turn out this way
I never thought life would turn out this way

In this town everybody knows my game
They see me comin� and they look away
I could get a job and make them proud
But I�d surely let them down
Yes I know I�d let �em down

(Chorus)

Hey there buddy you�re my friend
It�s all the same in the end
What you�ve done for the least of mine
I�ll remember for sometime
Yes I�ll remember for sometime

(Chorus)
