The South's Gonna' Do It

"Midnight Special" is a traditional folk song thought to have originated among prisoners in the American South. The title comes from the refrain which refers to the passenger train Midnight Special and its "ever-loving light" (sometimes "ever-living light"). The lyrics are thought to originate around 1904

"There’s something about Texas… the sky, the scars, the stories — they don’t fade. They just ride with you."
[Verse 1]
Rollin tires on a red dirt road
Sun sinking low where the Mesquites grow
FM on, got a lonesome tune
Chasing the light like a prairie moon
Cracks in the windshield, stories in the scars
Still feel the pull of them old dive bars
[Verse 2]
Ghost towns whisper through the sage and wire
The wind knows my name, so does the fire
Dust of the Lone Star coats my boots
As I pass old churches and roadside fruits
I left, but this place never left me
It’s in my bones, my blood, my legacy
[Chorus]
And I ride, like a flame through the wind
Tryna find where my soul begins
From Amarillo plains to the Gulf Coast tide
I’m just a shadow of a boy who tried
To outrun the past but not the land
I carry this dust like a brand
Yeah, I carry this dust… of the Lone Star land
[Verse 3]
I’ve slept in vans and roadside parks
Counted stars and chased my spark
Shared firelight tales with strangers wide-eyed
With Lourdes singing by the riverside
Each town’s a page in my traveling song
Texas taught me where I belong
[Chorus]
And I ride, like a flame through the wind
Tryna find where my soul begins
From Amarillo plains to the Gulf Coast tide
I’m just a shadow of a boy who tried
To outrun the past but not the land
I carry this dust like a brand
Yeah, I carry this dust… of the Lone Star land
[Bridge]
Mama said, “Don’t forget where you’re from,
Even when you’re broke or on the run.”
That voice still echoes through the pines,
With every mile, I rewind time...
[Final Chorus]
And I ride, with the wind at my back
Still haunted by those railroad tracks
From west-side towns to border skies
This state still owns my alibi
I ain’t no saint, but I understand
I was forged in the fire of Lone Star land
Yeah, I carry this dust…
I carry this dust…
Of the Lone Star land
