Open All Night

I'm goin' back to New York City I just can't wait no more for you I got so lonely, sold what you gave me 'Cept that raincoat, the famous blue And I don't need time to think about it I don't let reminders get me down like before But you know I used to know you Back when local bars and broken hearts were home, and we were open all night long Maybe I'll go out Chicago Ain't that where the blues belong? I heard you came by, shook up by the radio Somethin' about the topback, wayfarers on But I don't need time to think about it I don't let reminders get me down like before But you know I used to know you Back when local bars and broken hearts were home, and we were open all night long And all this must've been comin' a long, long time, twenty- nine years of nerves on fire Nobody came and nobody saw, made a wreck of myself with the headlights on Worked these hands straight down the bone, carried the weight until the weight took over Ended up standing at a fork in the road with you But I don't need time to think about it I don't let reminders get me down like before But you know I used to know you Back when local bars and your crooked heart was my home, mmhmm And I will never know the town where you finally settled down With the top back on a Cadillac and your sunglasses on And you can't make me whole, I have to find that on my own But I held you, babe, a long, long time ago, and we were open all night long --- Open All Night - Brian Fallon
