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
