Lord, take me with you
Don't leave me behind
I was a criminal
Now I've done my time
I was a drifter
Now I've seen the truth
Break loose these shackles
Take me with you
Let the Midnight Special
Shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special
Shine a light on me
Now where I'm going
Lord only sees
Let the Midnight Special
Shine a light on me
It was right there before me
Been there all along
There in the darkness
Then bright as the dawn
But I couldn't see it
There at my feet
Then I was shackled in irons
Yearned to be free
Let the Midnight Special
Shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special
Shine a light on me
Now where I'm going
Lord only sees
Let the Midnight Special
Shine a light on me
