Alan Jackson：Meaning of Midnight In Montgomery Songmeaning

The song "Midnight in Montgomery" by Alan Jackson is a tribute to the legendary country singer Hank Williams Sr. who passed away in 1953. The song is about Jackson's experience of stopping in Montgomery, Alabama on his way to a New Year's Eve show in Mobile. He visits Williams' grave and feels his presence while he is there. The song talks about the feeling of being in Montgomery at midnight, hearing the whip-poor-will and feeling the chill of loneliness. The lyrics suggest that Hank is still there, singing his songs and his presence can still be felt. The haunting, somewhat eerie tone of the song is fitting for this tribute to one of country music's greats.
