Here Comes the Night
[Verse 1]
Standin' on a corner, pocket full of hate
Lookin’ like a boy, feelin' like a man
Here come my baby in a two-tone Lincoln
The way she looked at me, she knew what I was thinkin'
Foot hit the brakes and she opened the door
Slid in the seat and her foot hit the floor

[Verse 2]
We’re rollin' down the highway, headin' west
Puttin' the two-tone machine to the test
We got no place to go, man we don't care
We'll know we're goin' when we get there
I got paid, there’s a smile on my face
Sun’s going down and everything's in place

[Chorus]
Everything’s in place, like it ought to be
Got the honey, got the time, got the weekend free
My day job's nothin' but a memory
Here comes the night, my baby and me

[Verse 3]
Came to a dirt road, we took a right
Kickin' up dust into the night
We saw this little joint by the side of the road
My baby "Why not?" I said "Let’s go"
We made a U-turn, we hit the parking lot
The time was right, the night was hot
[Verse 4]
My baby held my hand, we walked through the door
The band cranked it up, we hit the dance floor
She was a-movin' like a fine machine
[?] you know what I mean
I looked at her with a smile on my face
We was in love and everything's in place

[Chorus]
Everything's in place, like it ought to be
Got the honey, got the time, got the weekend free
My day job's nothin' but a memory
Here comes the night, my baby and me

[Chorus]
Everything's in place, like it ought to be
Got the honey, got the time, got the weekend free
My day job's nothin' but a memory
Here comes the night, my baby and me
Here comes the night, my baby and me
