Burning the midnight oil again
Sitting out here listening to the wind
I just called to tell you that I miss you my old friend
Burning the midnight oil again

Last year we bought a house outside of boulder
You know how kathy always missed that rocky mountains sky
She said: Let's move before my folks get any older
So they can see the grandkids grow up for a while
I was just thinking of the days we ran together
Travellin' 'cross the country in that rusty camper van
Playing one night stands seems like it's been forever
Sittin' here like this sometimes I miss the band

Burning the midnight oil again
Sitting out here listening to the wind
I just called to tell you that I miss you my old friend
Burning the midnight oil again

Yesterday your song came on the radio
You know it felt like you were singing right across the stage from me
And I remember how betrayed you felt when I said I had to go
But now I know that both of us landed where we're s'pposed to be

Burning the midnight oil again
Sitting out here listening to the wind
I just called to tell you that I miss you my old friend
(I'm just) burning the midnight oil again
I just called to tell you that I miss you my old friend
(I'm just) burning the midnight oil again
