Lyrics

Lyrics & Music by Bruce Blackman
 
On a cucumber evening in a sleepy southern town
All the streetlights are shining at the crickets on the ground
So the night goes, so the night goes
Ain’t a sound in the town ‘cept the echo in the well
And the butterflies sleeping up inside the village bell
So the night goes, so the night goes
My lady makes me feel good
My lady makes the night go better
 
I’m a champ in the street and I thought I had you beat
Till you asked me to sit and you took the only seat
So the night goes, so the night goes
I remember the night when I messed up all my lines
And you wrote a hundred tickets and I paid a hundred fines
So the night goes, so the night goes
My lady makes me feel good
My lady makes the night go better
 
So I’m standing here stupid kind of occupying space
And I guess it’s a mess when you come in second place
So the night goes, so the night goes
The streetlights a shining kind of showed me I was blind
So I’m standing here straining trying to hate you from my mind
So the night goes, so the night goes
So the night goes, so the night goes
So the night goes, so the night goes
