In the evenin’ when sun goes down
You gonna find me sittin’ around
The night life, ain’t no good life
But it’s my life
All good people, just like you and me,
Sittin’ ’round dreamin’ about that used-to-be’s
I tell ya that the night life, sure it ain’t no good life
But it’s my life, yes, it is
Oooh, listen to the blues
To the blues and what they’re saying
Listen to the blues
To the blues and what they’re playin’
They seem to be saying to me, many people have loved
And many people have lost
They might not to have loved at all
If they had know that they couldn’t, couldn’t pay the cost
Oooh, they tell me, they tell me
That life it’s just an empty scene
Older than the oldest broken hearts
Newer than the newest broken dreams
I tell you that night, that night life
Sure ain’t no good life
But do you know that it’s my life
Yeah, yeah
I tell you the night life
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Sure ain’t no good life
But do you know that it’s my life, yeah
