Middle of the Night

Charlie Robison

Well, there's a woman in the corner sittin' all alone
The barkeep's talkin' on the bar payphone
There's a couple on the dance floor, trippin' on the line
Well, tell me why I can't find the door

But in the middle of the night gonna be alright
The last call still ain't near
But in the middle of the night gonna see the light
Would wanna be any place but here

Blue ball betty and chainsaw bill
A June bug crawlin' on the window sill
Playboy pictures on the bathroom wall
Can you tell me why I can't make sense of it all?

In the middle of the night gonna be alright
The last call still ain't near
But in the middle of the night gonna see the light
Would wanna be any place but here

I fell in love about fifteen times
Got a car full of dents, face full of lines
Number sixteen just walked in
Better sit up straight, my momma'd be proud

In the middle of the night gonna be alright
The last call still ain't near
But in the middle of the night gonna see the light
Would wanna be any place but here
