Lyrics
When the lights wink on in G-town one by one
and the players slip inside to beat the sun
the room is filled with smoke and filled with fire
and the music there will take your spirits higher
With a casual acquaintance you'll do fine
at a table in the corner, it's sublime
your repartee is focused and is honed
and when you're there, you never are alone
Late Night, Late Night, Late Night, Late Night ...
You see a customer produce a late night jam
when invited up on stage by the band
you seem to think you recognize his face
as the notes he plays tear about the place
Late Night, Late Night, Late Night, Late Night ...
(Guitar solo)
Late Night, Late Night, Late Night, Late Night ...
When it's time to close, it's time to hit the street
and try to dodge the zombies that you meet
the day time is a struggle and a fight
you just can't wait to get back to late night
Late Night, Late Night, Late Night, Late Night ...
