Now the lights go low on the avenue And the cars pass by in the rain University boys and the girls fill the bars While I'm just waiting on the light to change And the steam heat pours from the bodies on the floor Down in the basement where the Jacknives play For the hub city girls in the ribbons and the curls Who know the meaning of staying out late The know the meaning of staying out very, very late
Singing, who does it better than we do? Than them sopranos in Andy Diamond's choir? Woah, nobody knows I've been crazy for so long without you
They'll find me beat down out in the universe Though I'll never forget where I'm from I might have moved away from home And slept out there on my own A million miles away in the storm But the beat never leaves And the tempo's a relief I took my aching bones rambling all over And if I'm gone for too long I can always hum along So don't you never forget what I told you So don't you never forget what I told you
Everybody singing, who does it better than we do? Than them sopranos in Andy Diamond's choir? Woah, nobody knows I've been crazy for so long without you
And just, baby who sings the rhythm and the blues So sad, so slow Like I do, like I do And oh, ain't it just like you want to And oh, ain't it just like you always wanted to
Every night waiting So long without you
But baby, who sings it better than we do? Than them sopranos in Andy Diamond's choir? Woah, nobody knows I've been crazy for so long without you Just, baby who sings the rhythm and the blues So sad, so slow Like I do And just like you want to
