Midnights Gone Lyrics

(Terri Clark/Gary Burr)

We got our first McDonald's

And it made the headline news

In a town where no one locks their doors at night

All the lights are flashing yellow

We just roll right through

And there is not a superstore in sight

But there's more to life

I told myself I'd say good-bye

By the time the clock struck twelve

But I can't pull the trigger on that changing world out there

With all these dreams I can't believe I'm still standing here

It's time to face the fact that I'm not the rebel that I thought

'Cause midnights gone but I'm not

Everyone I run into

Has known me all my life

There are no secrets you can call your own

Since the age of seventeen

I've faced the morning light

Saying this day is the day I'm gonna go

All I have to do is drive away

But the things that make me crazy

Always make me stay

But I can't pull the trigger on that changing world out there

With all these dreams I can't believe I'm still standing here

It's time to face the fact that I'm not the rebel that I thought

'Cause midnights gone but I'm not

It's time to face the fact I'm not the rebel that I thought

'Cause midnights gone, midnights gone

but I'm not
