Daylight has caught me Can't go nowhere If it wasn't for the daytime There'd be nothing to fear If it wasn't for the daylight They say there wouldn't be no light at all But if it wasn't for the night life I wouldn't be here at all I wouldn't be here at all Daylight has caught me Can't run away Daylight has caught me Looks like another day I'm waitin' for the moonshine Come moon shine on me Looks like daylight has caught me Daylight has caught me Well, I'm a friend of daylight Daylight's no friends with me Moonlight's an old friend of mine Keeps me drinking Keeps me up all the time Keeps me down by the river side Countin' stars, lookin' for some moonshine Moonshine is all I need Daylight comes sneakin' up on me Moonlight is all I want Daylight is all I can't stand Daylight has caught me once again Again, again, again, again Looks like that daylight's Caught up with me as fast as it could Looks like that daylight Won't let another day go by Well if I had some darkness 'round me I could really see But as it happens Daylight has caught up on me So I say Damn damn the daylight It's gone and caught me for another day Damn damn the daylight It does it every day It does it anyway It wants to No matter how I fight it Why, I could put out the candles At night time But god's gonna light 'em In the morning Daylight's found me once again Daylight is chasin' me all over the world I'd like to jump on some airplane Just to get away from it all Daylight is after me I don't like to see it smile That's why I pray for night time And darkness Just for a while If I could sleep in the mornin' And I could play at night If I could have the evening I wouldn't need the daylight Damn, damn the daylight It's gone and caught me for Another day Damn damn the daylight It does it every day Let it rain on monday I'd be happy as a king But here comes the sun-king Every morning
