End Of The Night

The amber, the fire is starting to fade
But it’s now that I make my best
Give the angel of my shoulder a bright for the night
‘Cause the devil ain’t getting no rest
I’ve got thousands of stories
You’ve heard them before
Yet I tell them again and again
Come on put up a stool now
And buy me a drink and please think of me as a friend

We live for the weekend, each city’s the same
There’s a bar on the corner
Where they don’t know your name
There’s plenty of drinks, they’ve been savin’ your chair
It’s our second home, we ain’t goin’ nowhere

It’s the end, end of the night
But we ain’t goin’ home
It’s the end, end of the night
But we ain’t goin’ home
It’s the end, end of the night
But we ain’t goin’ home

This life it ain’t easy, still we manage to win
There’s times to be knocked down
Yeah we live with our chin
We are generous guys with our hearts on the sleeves
Misunderstood though, the bars disagrees
We can’t catch a break, wrote the book on bad luck
We hold down their jobs if they did all suck

It’s the end, end of the night
But we ain’t goin’ home
It’s the end, end of the night
But we ain’t goin’ home
It’s the end, end of the night
But we ain’t goin’ home

The bartender’s spoken and he’s made it clear
If you ain’t goin’ home, then you ain’t stayin’ here
You can’t shut us off and you won’t turn us down
There’s plenty of jugs so be grateful to have us around

It’s the end, end of the night
But we ain’t goin’ home
It’s the end, end of the night
But we ain’t goin’ home
It’s the end, end of the night
But we ain’t goin’ home
Well you’ve been beaten me black and you’ve beaten me blue, the scars are well worn on my face
I’ve packed up the bags and I’ve soaked off in shame
For one last walk at these streets

It’s the end, end of the night
But we ain’t goin’ home
It’s the end, end of the night
But we ain’t goin’ home
It’s the end, end of the night
But we ain’t goin’ home
