In the evening When the sun goes down You're gonna find me Sittin' around
The night life Ain't no good life But it's my life
O, good people Just like you and me Sittin' around dreaming ?Up that there used to be?
I tell you that the night life Sure ain't no good life But it's my life, yes it is
O, listen to the blues To the blues and what they're saying Listen to the blues, to the blues and what they're playing
They seem to be saying to me Many people have loved And many people have lost They might not have loved at all Had they known that they couldn't pay the cost
They tell me, they tell me That life is just an empty scene Older than the oldest broken heart Newer than the newest broken dreams
I tell you the night life, the night life Sure ain't no good life But do you know that it's my life
Yeah, yeah, I tell you that the night life Sure ain't no good life But do you know that it's my life
