Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes - All Night Long lyrics

rate me

(B. Bandiera/J. Lyon)

Snuck in the barroom, I was just 14

Man he used to shake 'em down

He'd turn it up and then he'd make it scream

But then he put it down

I used to go just to watch him play

All night long

Now all I ever see him do is pray

All night long

All night long

I got a letter from a friend of mine

It knocked me off my feet

He said he saw a girl I used to know

Workin' on the street

She's the one who helped me find my way

All night long

Now you tell me that she's gone astray

Well, man, I hope you're wrong

I hope you're wrong

Well I don't know about it, it's a mystery

Wish I knew how to walk the straight and narrow

And still be me, still be me

I still go back there every now and then

Just to walk around

I can't get caught up in them memories

I'm afraid I'll drown

I used to try to drink my life away

All night long

Now I try to take it day by day

Right or wrong

People tell me there's a better way

All night long

All I ever want to do is play

All night long

All night long
