[ Featuring Will Cabaniss ]
A long night, it's a long night, my friend.
The barrooms and the back streets! Dead end.
Sometimes I thought I saw the sunrise and good times in the air.
It was just another big town with midnight neon glare.
A long night, it's a long night, I know.
The bus rides and the nowhere to go.
I've seen what the street corners do to things like love and dreams.
Seen what the bottle can do to a man with his hopes and his schemes.
A long night, what a long night it has been.
The wheelers and the dealers, they win.
I've tasted the ninety-proof gin and chased it away with the blues.
I rarely paid debts that I owed but I sure have paid my dues.
No daylight, just a long night for me.
