Lyrics:

Tonight's the night,

tonight's the night

Tonight's the night,

tonight's the night

Tonight's the night,

tonight's the night

Tonight's the night,

tonight's the night.



Bruce Berry was a working man

He used to load that Econoline van.

A sparkle was in his eye

But his life was in his hands.



Well, late at night

when the people were gone

He used to pick up my guitar

And sing a song in a shaky voice

That was real as the day was long.



Tonight's the night, yes it is,

tonight's the night

Tonight's the night, yes it is,

tonight's the night.



Early in the mornin'

at the break of day

He used to sleep

until the afternoon.

If you never heard him sing

I guess you won't too soon.



'Cause people let me tell you

It sent a chill

up and down my spine

When I picked up the telephone

And heard that he'd died

out on the mainline.



Tonight's the night,

tonight's the night

Tonight's the night,

tonight's the night.



Bruce Berry was a working man

He used to load that Econoline van.

Well, early in the morning

at just about the break of day

He used to sleep

until the afternoon.



Tonight's the night, yes it is,

tonight's the night

Tonight's the night,

tonight's the night

Tonight's the night,

tonight's the night

Tonight's the night,

tonight's the night.
