Lyrics
Verse 1
Fluorescent lights buzzing over empty stoolsCoffee black as midnight and the night still rulesWaitress knows my order before I even speakThis quiet booth is the only peace I seek
Chorus
Midnight dinerHolds me tightHank and MerleMake it right
Verse 2
Jukebox cracked but it still plays the truthSongs about losers and the wasted youthGrease and cigarette smoke hang in the airI come here when the world gets hard to bear
Chorus
Midnight dinerHolds me tightHank and MerleMake it right
Bridge
One more cupTanuki Thunder waits
Verse 3
When the sun comes up I’ll pay and walk awayBut this place will still be here another dayFor lonely hearts and restless souls like mineThe midnight diner keeps us all in line
Chorus
Midnight dinerHolds me tightHank and MerleMake it right
