Lookin' outside, see a slitherin' coiled snake
Listenin' now to the wheels and the sound they make
I'm streaking through the midnight highway rain
And I'm leavin' a town and
I'm speedin' on to another one again

In the dead of night I slip from town to town
Not a soul in sight, only the midnight sounds
The miles and miles and miles of dotted lines
Will keep leadin' me down to a town,
and then I'll be leavin' once again

We're on a - Midnite highway,
winding through the midnight rain
Midnite highway, take me to my destiny

Speedin' along in a Silver Eagle bus
Well the road is long, it's the road we chose for us
We can't imagine life worth living staying home
We're a rock'n'roll band and we can't be stickin' around,
we gotta roam

We're on a - Midnite highway,
winding through the midnight rain
Midnite highway, take me to my destiny

Take me to another old lonely town,
oh mama, sweet mama
Wake me with a sweet and gentle sound
New York, Chicago, Kansas City to L.A.
We keep goin' around and around,
we're gonna be leaving once again

We're on a - Midnite highway,
winding through the midnight rain
Midnite highway, take me to my destiny
