If It Takes All Night Lyrics

If It Takes All Night lyrics

Some call it the ribbon

Some say the white line

I say truck stop living

Well, it suits me fine



Every day of the week

Every day of the week



We heard some other fellers talking

I think it's going to be a good fight

Tonight the radio is rocking

I'm going to hear my favorite song



If it takes all night

If it takes all night

If it takes all night

If it takes all night

If it takes all night



I'm going to wash my favorite shirt

In downtown Marseilles

It's got the same old dirt

From up in Calais, oh, oh



How many days and weeks?

How many days and weeks?



Now every job it is important

But still sometimes the money's right

I saw the ghost of Johnny Horton

He said we're going to make El Paso



If it takes all night

If it takes all night

If it takes all night

If it takes all night



If it takes all night

If it takes all night

If it takes all night

If it takes all night



I lost my favorite cook

He left little Siam

For many years I looked

He said, "Here I am", oh, oh



Every day of the week

Every day of the week



Some got to go and see their mama

Some got to play a show tonight

I got to go and see my baby

When next I sleep I'll be with her



If it takes all night

If it takes all night

If it takes all night

...
