When that ev'nin' sun goes down Yeah, you'll find me hangin' around Because the night life It ain't no good life but it's my life Yeah, yeah, yeah listen to the blues Listen to what they're sayin' Oh, please listen to the blues Listen to the blues they're playin' Ah, ah, all of the people just like you and me They're all dreamin' about their old used to be Because the night life It ain't no good life but it's my life They tell me life's an empty scene An avenue of broken dreams Because the night life It ain't no good life but it's my life
