Lyrics

Hey Hey baby I just can't quit
There's a freight train coming I can see my name on it
In the middle of the night in the midnight rain
Banging my heels on the wheels of a runaway train

Banging on midnight bang on the moon
Spend my money making love to you

Tell me darling now what I'll you give
Tell me do you love me like I love the way you live
Down the alligator river on a lonesome train
I'm Rocking my soul in the heart of the hurricane

Banging on midnight bang on the moon
Spend my money making love to you
Banging on a bottle with a medicine spoon
All spend my money making love to you
Put another bullet in my snake skin shoes
Hammer my heart till my heart stops too

I'm calling out your name to the heavens
You can sell my old clothes
When I come rolling through
I've been driving all night long for a life time
And I never meant to get this far away from you

Last chance honey I'm ready to fade
I'm ready to roll
I'm ready for the big parade

Put another bullet in my snake skin shoes
Or hammer my heart till my heart stops too

Banging on a midnight bangin' on the moon
Spend my money making love to you
Banging on a bottle with a medicine spoon
All my money making love to you
Hey Hey baby I just can't quit
There's a freight train coming I can see my name on it
Down the alligator river on a lonesome train
I'm Rocking my soul in the heart of a hurricane
Banging on midnight bangin on the moon
Spend my money making love to you
Banging on a bottle with a medicine spoon
All my money making love to you
I got a two headed dollar and I'm ready to deal
I'm ready to beg don't make me steal
One more midnight one more moon
Spend my money making love to you

Put another bullet in my snake skin shoes

Or hammer my heart till my heart stops too

And I'm calling your name out to the heavens
You can sell my old clothes
When I come rolling through
I've been driving all night long for a life time
And I never meant to get this far away from you
