Lyrics
Peelin off the label from this bottle side
Spent all my money at the bar tonight
Told myself I wouldn?t but I guess I lied
Tonight
Now I?m stayin up all night to write you in a song
Everyone?s a poet when the lights ain?t on
Got time for one more round before we?re moving on
Tonight
Baby won?t you come down
To my world tonight
There?s a lot of things wrong with the way I?m goin
But everything?s alright
Tonight, tonight, toni-i-ight
Got a cold one and some cigarettes but I don?t smoke
Tryin on the words that someone else once spoke
I?m somewhere close to nowhere but I?m not alone
Tonight
The Boss is on the radio it?s half past three
The light outside the window says there?s vacancy
And I know that you?re seeing the same sky as me
Tonight
Baby won?t you come down
To my world tonight
There?s a lot of things wrong with the way I?m goin
But everything?s alright
So baby won?t you come down
To save my soul tonight
There?s a lot of things wrong with the way I?m goin
But everything?s alright
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Got the devil on my shoulder
Whisperin in my ear
And if I keep on runnin I might disappear
Got no information
Got no big idea
I?m just tryin to find my place inside of here
Somewhere in the night I know you?re on my side
When I?m standing in the shadows at a roadside dive
All of us are sinners but we feel alive
Tonight
Baby won?t you come down
To my world tonight
There?s a lot of things wrong with the way I?m goin
But everything?s alright
So baby won?t you come down
To save my soul tonight
There?s a lot of things wrong with the way I?m goin
But everything?s alright
Tonight, tonight, tonight
