A Long Night Lyrics

A Long Night lyrics

Long night, it's a long night, my friend

The barrooms and the back street's dead end

Sometimes I thought I saw the sunrise

And good times in the air

It was just, it was just another big town

With midnight's neon glare



Long night, it's a long night, I know

The bus rides and the, "Nowhere to go"



I've seen what the street corners

Do to things like love and dreams

Seen what the bottle can do to a man

With his hopes and his schemes



A long night, what a long night it has been

The wheelers and the dealers they win

I've tasted the 90-proof gin

And chased it away with the blues

I rarely paid debts that I owed

But I sure have paid my dues



No daylight, just a long night for me
