The 'Midnight Ghost' - Mt. Desolation

The midnight ghost is roaring on its way

Goes through California up to Oakland and the bay

My traveling can be lonesome but I’m happy 'cause I’m bound

For the bright lights and the harbor of Euges Town

I came from Carolina through

Whisked through Arizona, Texas and New Mexico

I have no need of friendship 'cause I have no need of pain

All I need is for to ride that ghost again

I’ve tried so long to be what the world expects of me

But I’m by this cravings to be free

The light reveals

But I’ve got everything I want on the midnight ghost

The station masters flashlight is sweeping low and wide

Seeking out the stragglers trying to hitch a free ride

I know these wound out rail yards like I know my sun-cracked face

And I slip on board as the zipper gathers pace

I got no lover, I have no kid, no kin

Waiting on this engine rolling in

No my only friends and help means

Since we tear on up the coast

Are some red wine and the rattle of the midnight ghost
