Oh,
Jesus.
They say that the night life,
they say it ain't no good life,
but it's my life.
I've been a gambler,
I've been a thief,
and most of my good friends,
they don't hold with my beliefs.
They say that the night life,
they say it ain't no good life,
oh, but baby, you know
that's my life.
And if you've had them troubles,
if you've felt them wounds,
I don't have to
tell you
how this old,
old bluesong goes.
Hey, now, baby,
it can drive you crazy.
Oh,
but baby, baby,
the night life's for me.
Listen.
Oh, but baby,
baby,
it's my life.
Just one more time before I hit the road,
and I want to thank you.
I want to thank the Lord for that old night life
Some say it ain't no good life, but baby,
baby,
there ain't nothing like this night life.
