Midnight Flyer Take me to L. A. Midnight Flyer Take me to L. A. There'll be a whole lot of kissing When I jump off that Santa Fe Midnight Flyer Roll on down the track Midnight Flyer Roll on down the track The quicker I get there The sooner I'll get her back A pocket full of money A heart full of pain I won't be myself Until I see her again Midnight Flyer Take me to L. A. Midnight Flyer Take me to L. A. There'll be a whole lot of loving When I jump off that Santa Fe A pocket full of money A heart full of pain I won't be myself Until I see her again I got a whole lot of dust On my dancing shoes And I've got a lot of loving That I haven't ued Midnight Flyer Midnight Flyer Be on your way Midnight Flyer Be on your way Midnight Flyer Be on your way
