Howlin' At Midnight

(album: Happy Woman Blues - 1980)

Howling at midnight, winter creeping in
Feel like I've gone and lost my best friend
My best friend, lost my best friend
This car's headed down the wrong track again

I ain't got nobody, I'm nobody's girl
Gonna get in my Mercury and drive around the world
Around the world, all around the world
When I reach that mountain top I'll stand with flags unfurled

She's up in New York City trying to make it big
Wrote me a letter yesterday saying I ain't got no gigs
Ain't got no gigs, I ain't got no gigs
If you wanna send me something, make it a two dollar rig

[GUITAR SOLO]

She's up in New York City trying to be a star
Told me you're wasting your time where you are
Where you are, where you are
Gotta get yourself out of all those Texas bars

Howling at midnight, winter creeping in
Feel like I've gone and lost my best friend
My best friend, lost my best friend
This car's headed down the wrong track again
This car's headed down the wrong track again
