Song Lyrics

It`s midnight on the interstate and I`m flying like a bird
I was talking to a friend of mine, he said
"Have you heard the word?"
"I`ve got some people comin` by to celebrate the show,
Some of them are new in town and some of them you know"
I`ve got a local station on, Tejano music playing
I do my best to sing along but I don`t know what they`re saying
No le puedo entender but you know that it`s alright
I`m headed down to San Antone, runnin` with the night
I`ve never been no daytime guy
Love the neon light
I`m a saxophone, flash of chrome
Runnin` with the night

I lost my job a month ago so I took a small vacation
I went out west to make the best of my lowdown situa-tion
Moved in with my sister you know she works every day
We don`t see each other much but I guess it`s just that way

I`ve never been no daytime guy
Love the neon light
I`m a swingin` door, a meteor
Runnin` with the night

I`ve settled down a time or two and tried the other way
But I don`t know what to do with myself all day
The sun goes down you give you love one last long goodnight kiss
Then you stay awake thinkin` `bout everything you miss
I`ve never been no daytime guy
Love the neon light
I`m a secret plan, a highwayman
Runnin` with the night

I was born in the wintertime under-neath a purple sky
I packed my things at seventeen and I kissed my folks goodbye
Got no complaints, no regrets, I got no grand de-sign
I`ll ride the horse that brought me here
`Till I cross that finish line
I`ve never been no daytime guy, love the neon light
I`m an amber eye, a coyote`s cry
Runnin` with the night
I`m a wall of fire, an angel choir

Runnin` with the
Night with the
Night'¦'¦. With the
Night'¦'¦ with the
Night'¦..
