Drunken Nights in the City - Whitey Morgan and the 78's

I’ll tell you a story about a night on the town

Started off drinking at five

By the time I was through

I’d near worn out my shoes

And visited every known dive

All the lights in the alley

Fall dim on the ground

When you’re trying to see your way home

And the all night ladies

In their perfume so fine

Yeah, won’t leave a poor boy alone

Drunken nights in the city

Showin' their toe

They’ll take you for more than you know

You can’t judge a book

And you can’t trust a crook

Down where the neon lights glow

Early next morning I rose up so bad

My eyes were as red as the light

My pockets were empty, so was my heart

I promised to put things right

I went down to the preacher, fell on my knees

Asked the preacher to right all the wrongs

But he just shoke his head, looked sorry when he said

«Son, you been on them streets far too long»

Drunken nights in the city

Are showing their toe

They’ll take you for more than you know

You can’t judge a book

And you can’t trust a crook

Down where the neon lights glow

Drunken nights on the city

Are showing their toe

They’ll take you for more than you know

You can’t judge a book

And you can’t trust a crook

Yeah, down where the neon lights glow

Yeah, down where the neon lights glow

Let me tell you a story 'bout a night on the town
