Robert Earl Keen - Runnin with the night

It's ^Amidnight on the ^Dinterstate and I'm ^F#mflying like a ^Ebird ^AI was talking to a ^F#mfriend of mine, he said &^C#mquot;Have you heard^D the word?" ^A"I've got some pe^Dople comin' b^F#my to celebrate^E the show, ^ASome of them are ^Dnew in town and ^Esome of them you ^Aknow"

^AI've got a local ^Dstation on, ^F#mTejano music ^Eplaying ^AI do my best to ^F#msing along but I ^C#mdon't know what they're ^Dsaying ^ANo le puedo ^Dentender but you ^F#mknow that it's ^Ealright ^AI'm headed down to ^DSan Antone, ^Erunnin' with the ^Anight

^AI've never been no daytime guy ^ELove the neon ^Alight I'm a ^Dsaxophone, ^F#mflash of chrome ^ERunnin' with the ^Anight

^AI lost my job a ^Dmonth ago so I ^F#mtook a small va^Ecation ^AI went out west to ^F#mmake the best of my ^C#mlowdown situa^Dtion ^AMoved in with my ^Dsister you know ^F#mshe works every ^Eday ^AWe don't see each ^Dother much but I ^Eguess it's just that ^Away

^AI've never been no daytime guy ^ELove the neon ^Alight I'm a ^Dswingin' door, a ^F#mmeteor ^ERunnin' with the ^Anight

^AI've settled down a ^Dtime or two and ^F#mtried the other ^Eway But I ^Adon't know ^F#mwhat to do ^C#mwith myself all ^Dday ^AThe sun goes down you ^Dgive you love one ^F#mlast long goodnight ^Ekiss Then you ^Astay awake ^Dthinkin' 'bout ^Eeverything you ^Amiss

^AI've never been no daytime guy ^ELove the neon ^Alight I'm a ^Dsecret plan, a ^F#mhighwayman ^ERunnin' with the ^Anight

^AI was born in the ^Dwintertime under^F#mneath a purple ^Esky ^AI packed my things at ^F#mseventeen and I ^C#mkissed my folks good^Dbye ^AGot no complaints, ^Dno regrets, I ^F#mgot no grand de^Esign ^AI'll ride the horse that ^Dbrought me here 'Till I ^Ecross that finish ^Aline

^AI've never been no daytime guy, ^Elove the neon ^Alight I'm an ^Damber eye, a ^F#mcoyote's cry ^ERunnin' with the ^Anight I'm a ^Dwall of fire, an ^F#mangel choir ^ERunnin' with the ^Anight
