Ray Price – Night Life Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the evening sun goes down
You will find me hanging round
[Refrain]
Oh the night life ain’t no good life
But it’s my life
[Verse 2]
Many people just like me
Dreaming of old used-to-be
[Refrain]
Oh the night life ain’t no good life
But it’s my life
[Bridge]
Well listen to the blues they’re playing
Yeah listen to what the blues are saying
[Verse 3]
Mine is just another scene
From the world of broken dreams
[Refrain]
Oh the night life ain’t no good life
But it’s my life
[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
Yeah when the evening sun goes down
You will find me hanging round
[Refrain]
Oh the night life ain’t no good life
But it’s my life
[Verse 2]
Many people just like me
Dreaming of old used-to-be
[Refrain]
Oh the night life ain’t no good life
But it’s my life
[Bridge]
Oh, listen to the blues they’re playing
Yeah, listen what the blues are saying
[Verse 3]
Mine is just another scene
From the world of broken dreams
[Refrain]
Oh the night life ain’t no good life
But it’s my life
