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
