Midnight at the Movies Songtext
von Justin Townes Earle

Well, the couple in the corner have been going at it all night long
The man in the back is putting bets out over the phone
And I ain′t got nowhere to be
Ain't nobody waiting at home for me
And there′s nothing lonelier than
Midnight at the movies, again


There's a girl named Martha
Who meets me here on Saturday night
She never says too much
She just sits down beside me and puts her hand in mine
She's got a gentle way
That keeps me from feeling so alone
She always shows up late
And leaves before the credits roll

And I never watch her leave
I just close my eyes and pretend I′m asleep
Until the second feature begins
Midnight at the movies, again

So it′s half-price, double feature
Two and quarter after seven o' clock
And there′s no smoking, no drinking
Get your candies and your red-hots
Said, get your candies and your red-hots

So, shut out the lights
And tell those fools down front to take a seat
If you see my Martha
Tell her I'm in the corner, and just wake me if I′m asleep
