[Chorus]
Tonight's the night [x8]
[Verse 1]
Bruce Berry was a working man
He used to load that Econoline van
A sparkle was in his eye
But his life was in his hands
Well, late at night when the people were gone
He used to pick up my guitar
And sing a song in a shaky voice
That was real as the day was long
[Chorus]
Tonight's the night, yes it is, tonight's the night [x2]
[Verse 2]
Early in the morning at the break of day
He used to sleep until the afternoon
If you never heard him sing
I guess you won't too soon
Because people let me tell you
It sent a chill up and down my spine
When I picked up the telephone
And heard that he'd died out on the mainline
[Chorus]
Tonight's the night [x4]
[Verse 3]
Bruce Berry was a working man
He used to load that Econoline van
Well, early in the morning at just about the break of day
He used to sleep until the afternoon
[Chorus]
Tonight's the night, yes it is
Tonight's the night [x7]
