[00:00.00]Runnin' with the Night - Robert Earl Keen
[00:15.32]It's midnight on the interstate
[00:17.51]And I'm flying like a bird
[00:21.98]I was talking to a friend of mine
[00:24.42]He said"Have you heard the word"
[00:28.39]"I've got some people comin'
[00:30.01]By to celebrate the show
[00:34.70]Some of them are new in town
[00:37.01]And some of them you know"
[00:42.66]I've got a local station on
[00:45.16]Tejano music playing
[00:48.84]I do my best to sing along but
[00:51.59]I don't know what they're saying
[00:55.13]No le puedo entender but you know
[00:58.76]That it's alright
[01:01.45]I'm headed down to San Antone
[01:03.82]Runnin' with the night
[01:07.89]I've never been no daytime guy
[01:11.01]Love the neon light
[01:14.07]I'm a saxophone a flash of chrome
[01:17.14]Runnin' with the night
[01:24.80]I lost my job a month ago
[01:27.42]So I took a small vacation
[01:31.36]I went out west to make
[01:33.44]The best of my lowdown situation
[01:37.75]Moved in with my sister
[01:39.62]You know she works every day
[01:43.98]We don't see each other much
[01:46.42]And I guess it's just that way
[01:50.56]I've never been no daytime guy
[01:53.44]Love the neon light
[01:56.67]I'm a swingin' door meteor
[01:59.50]Runnin' with the night
[02:07.64]Settled down a time or two
[02:10.09]And tried the other way
[02:13.03]But I don't know what to do
[02:16.28]With myself all day
[02:20.42]The sun goes down
[02:21.35]You give your love one
[02:23.29]Last long goodnight kiss
[02:26.70]Then you stay awake
[02:27.89]Thinkin' 'bout everything you miss
[02:33.06]I've never been no daytime guy
[02:35.93]Love the neon light
[02:39.01]I'm a secret plan a highwayman
[02:42.00]Runnin' with the night
[03:01.30]I was born in the wintertime
[03:03.48]Underneath the purple sky
[03:07.42]Packed my things at seventeen
[03:09.98]And I kissed my folks goodbye
[03:13.98]Got no complaints no regrets
[03:16.62]I got no grand design
[03:20.10]I'll ride the horse that brought me
[03:22.22]Here 'til I cross that finish line
[03:26.53]I've never been no daytime guy
[03:29.59]Love the neon light
[03:32.84]I'm an amber eye a coyote's cry
[03:35.64]Runnin' with the night
[03:38.32]I'm a wall of fire an angel choir
[03:41.99]Runnin' with the night
[03:50.73]With the night
[03:56.92]With the night
[04:03.23]With the night
