Shawn Mullins - Up All Night lyrics

Well Johnny Mae And William J Hitched a ride From sunny L. A With a soldier who'd gone awol Stockade bound And they got off In the Texas rain And they hopped a southern diesel train Headed to Atlanta My hometown Where she danced all night In a go-go bar And he tried his best To play ba** guitar In the absolute worst punk band ever heard But she got tired of the Georgia clay And a drunk musician Who couldn't even play So she took a bus to Boston Without a word He never got to say goodbye And he has to wonder why It keeps him up all night The way she wore her hair It keeps him up all night Her voice is everywhere It keeps him up all night She's out there Searchin' somewhere For somethin' of her own Well old Will kept makin' bad music worse But the whisky and the pills Wouldn't quench his thirst no more So he stuck a needle in his arm Then he lost his band He started liftin' shops It didn't take too long To get cuffed by the cops And right about now He's a workin' on the county farm It's never easier to say goodbye And she has to wonder why It keeps her up all night The way he held her hand It keeps her up all night He was her only man It keeps her up all night She's out there Searchin' somewhere For somethin' of her own To get where you need to be You'll go thru anything And on your way to be free You know, love is everything Baby, love is everything It keeps us up all night Yes, love is everything It keeps us up all night Yes, love is everything It keeps us up all night We're out there Searchin' somewhere For somethin' of our own It keeps us up all night We're out there Searchin' somewhere For somethin' of our own
