I'm leaving town this morning Back on a midnight ride No destination weary Caught in the same old stride Oh my Lord, I'll see you Ruined by the way Only to remember The sideways sins of yesterday Summertime in Denver Gonna see some friends of mine I may hide there till September Or the leaves begin to die It don't even matter The poet's seldom heard I'm gonna board the midnight ferry And carry on my way with a yes, the world Hallelujah, hey Hallelujah, hey Hallelujah, hey Hallelujah, hey Touching down in Memphis Gonna find some blue suede shoes And even though it may seem senseless It's all that I can do It don't even matter The preacher's seldom heard I'm gonna board the midnight ferry And carry on my way with a yes, the world Hallelujah, hey Hallelujah, hey Hallelujah, hey Hallelujah, hey And it's my last trip through Detroit Gonna drown away this pain I got no one left to live for And no one left to blame It don't even matter I don't want the last word I'm gonna board the midnight ferry And carry on my way with a yes, the world I'm gonna board the midnight ferry And carry on my way with a yes, the world Hallelujah, hey Hallelujah, hey Hallelujah, hey Hallelujah, hey It don't even matter I don't want the last word I'm gonna board the midnight ferry And carry on my way with a yes, the world I'm gonna board the midnight ferry And carry on my way with a yes, the world I'm gonna board the midnight ferry And carry on, carry on My way with a yes, the world My way with a yes, the world
