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
