Charley Crockett - Midnight Run Lyrics

What makes a man think that he

Can forget about what used to be

Be happy with the way life is

Not think about what once was his

Whiskey drunk and under the gun

I'm taking me a midnight run


I'm taking me a midnight run

I'm making another one

A thousand miles or more I'll drive

To where I lived when I thought I was alive

They'll never know I was ever around

Just my shadow on the ground

I turn east to face the sun

After making me a midnight run

I tell you all cause you need to know

They don't call for me to go

I hear that voice coming cross the miles

I got no choice but to be gone a while

I say get in you better lock and load

Don't let the wind block the road

I'll be gone but when it's done

I'm all alone on my midnight run


I'm taking me a midnight run

I'm making another one

A thousand miles or more I'll drive

To where I lived when I thought I was alive

They'll never know I was ever around

Just my shadow on the ground

I turn east to face the sun

After making me a midnight run
