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
