Night Life

In the evening, when the sun goes down
You're gonna find me sitting around
The night life, ain't no good life
But it's my life
All good people, just like you and me
Sitting around dreaming about that used to be
I tell you that the night life sure ain't no good life
But it's my life, yes, it is
Ohoho, listen to the blues, to the blues and what they're playing
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 to have loved at all if they had know that they couldn't pay the cost
Ohoho, they tell me, they tell me that life is just an empty scene
Ohoho, than the oldest broken hearts, newer than the newest stood 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, yeaheaheah, sure ain't no good life
But do you know that it's my life, yeaheaheah
