Hear that midnight train, coming down the track
Here it comes, if I get on I’m never coming back
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Ever since the farm got sold
Well my daddy was a farmer, my grandad he was too
I was one, but not for long, there was nothing I could do
A letter came that said the bank foreclosed
And then the farm got sold
I couldn’t catch a break and I couldn’t catch the rain
The crops all died, the well went dry, and that’s when the banker came
He said sometimes it’s just the way it goes
And then the farm got sold
Babies, little babies, three babies and my wife
They’re sitting home waiting on me thinking I’ll be back tonight
Guess they’re gonna wake up all alone
Ever since the farm got sold
I couldn’t catch a break and I couldn’t catch the rain
The crops all died, the well went dry, and that’s when the banker came
He said sometimes it’s just the way it goes
And then the farm got sold
Well hear that midnight train, smoking down the line
Every mile it goes it gets a little farther from my mind
Guess it just ain’t in my blood to roam
Even though the farm got sold
Lord I’m gonna make my way back home
Even though the farm got sold
