Shawn Mullins - Up All Night lyrics

rate me

Well Johnny Mae

And William J

Hitched a ride

From sunny L.A.

With a soldier who'd gone AWOL

Stockade bound

And they 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 bass guitar

In the absolute worst punk band ever heard

But she got tired of the Georgia clay

And a drunk musician

Who couldn't even play

So she took a 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 She's out there

Searchin' somewhere

For somethin' of her own

Well old Will kept makin' bad music worse

But the whisky and the pills

Wouldn't quench his thirst no more

So he stuck a needle in his arm

Then he lost his band

He started liftin' shops

It didn't take too long

To get cuffed by the cops

And right about now

He's a workin' on the county farm

It's 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

She's out there

Searchin' somewhere

For somethin' of her own

To get where you need to be

You'll go thru anything

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 somethin' of our own

It keeps us up all night

We're out there

Searchin' somewhere

For somethin' of our own
