Up All Night
well johnny mae
and william j
hitched a ride
from sunny l.a.
with a soldier whod gone AWOL
stockade bound
and the got off
in the texas rain
and they hopped a southern diesel train
headed to atlanta
my hometown
where she danced all night
in a go-go bar
and he tried his best
to play a bass guitar
in the absolute worst punk band ever heard
but she got tired of the georgia clay
and a drunk musician
who couldnt even play
so she tok the bus to boston
without a word
he never got to say goodbye
and he has to wonder why
it keeps him up all night
the way she wore her hair
it keeps him up all night
her voice is everywhere
it keeps him up all night
shes out there
searchin somewhere
for somethin of her own
well old will kept makin bad music worse
but the whiskey and the pills
wouldnt quench his thirst no more
so he stuck a needle in his arm
then he lost his band
he started liftin shops
it didnt take long
to get cuffed by the cops
and right about now
hes a workin on the county farm
its never easier to say goodbye
and she has to wonder why
it keeps her up all night
the way he held her hand
it keeps her up all night
he was her only man
it keeps her up all night
shes out there
searchin somewhere
for somethin of her own
to get where you need to be
youll go through anything
yes you will
and on your way to be free
you know love is everything
baby love is everything
it keeps us up all night
yes love is everything
it keeps us up all night
yes love is everything
it keeps us up all night
we're out there
searchin somewhere
for something of our own
it keeps us up all night
we're out there
searchin somewhere
for something of our own
