Open All Night

I'm goin' back to New York City

I just can't wait no more for you

I got so lonely, sold what you gave me

'Cept that raincoat, the famous blue

And I don't need time to think about it

I don't let reminders get me down like before

But you know I used to know you

Back when local bars and broken hearts were home

And we were open all night long

Maybe I'll go out Chicago

Ain't that where the blues belong?

I heard you came by, shook up by the radio

Somethin' about the topback, wayfarers on

But I don't need time to think about it

I don't let reminders get me down like before

But you know I used to know you

Back when local bars and broken hearts were home

And we were open all night long

And all this must've been comin' a long, long time, 29 years of nerves on fire

Nobody came and nobody saw, made a wreck of myself with the headlights on

Worked these hands straight down the bone

Carried the weight until the weight took over

Ended up standing at a fork in the road with you

But I don't need time to think about it

I don't let reminders get me down like before

But you know I used to know you

Back when local bars and your crooked heart was my home, mhm

And I will never know the town where you finally settled down

With the top back on a Cadillac and your sunglasses on

And you can't make me whole, I have to find that on my own

But I held you, babe, a long, long time ago, and we were open all night long
