[Verse 1]
Well, well, well, well, well
Wake up early in the morning hear the ding-dong ring
Comin' walking to the table I see the same damn thing
Knife and fork upon the table, piece of paper in my hand
Nothing I can do about it, I'll get in trouble with the man

[Chorus]
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine it's ever loving light on me

[Verse 2]
If you ever go to Houston you better act right
You better not gamble and you better not fight
'Cause the sheriff will arrest you and he'll carry you down
If they go and find you guilty you're penitentiary bound

[Chorus]
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine it's ever loving light on me

[Verse 1]
Well, well, well, well, well
Wake up early in the morning, hear the ding-dong ring
Comin' walking to the table I see the same damn thing
Knife and fork upon the table, piece of paper in my hand
Nothing I can do about it, I get in trouble with the man

[Chorus]
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine it's ever loving light on me
Let the midnight special

[Verse 2]
If you ever go to Houston you better act right
You better not gamble and you better not fight
'Cause the sheriff will arrest you and he'll carry you down
If they go and find you guilty, well you'll be Sugarland bound

[Chorus]
Let the midnight special shine it's light on me
Let the midnight special shine it's ever loving light on me

I said the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine it's ever loving light on me

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
