Lyrics

[Verse 1] All Dressed up in his Sunday best Worn-out jeans and a Harley vest Wallet on a chain and a do-rag on his head A carton of Camels and a pint of Crown Pictures of his mama and his old bloodhound Things he's gonna need for where he's bound The preacher said a prayer Never even blinked When we rolled in that shiney decked-out black and chrome Road King [Chorus] And a room full of tattoos, boots, and leather Joined in with the choir I don't think that church has ever heard A word of Midnight Rider And the thunder of a hundred bikes followed him down Main Street That's how we said goodbye To Henry [Verse 2] Rib-eye steaks and curly fries Jumbo shrimp and Miller High Life, it was his last wish Nobody spent a dime On that open bar was an eight by ten Of Henry huggin' on some Hooter-Girl twins Livin' the dream Man that was him At 3 AM all us friends were still hangin' round And somebody said "If I know him, he was up there lookin' down!" [Chorus] When that room full of tattoos, boots, and leather Joined in with the choir I don't think that church has ever heard A word of Midnight Rider And the thunder of a hundred bikes followed him down Main Street That's how we said goodbye To Henry [Bridge] So when I'm gone, tie one on! Raise some hell, party all night long! Throw back a shot or two to my memory Just like we said goodbye To Henry (Goodbye) [Outro] Good book, tattoos, boots, and leather And the Sunday crowd came together! (Goodbye)
