lyrics

MIDNIGHT MAN (Mark Utley - Sleep Cat Music/BMI)

I like to go out drinkin’
I like to go downtown
I like those pretty women
Like to turn their heads around
Wanna hear the sweet, sweet music
And all the night time sounds
See the bright lights burnin’
And lay my troubles down
Baby, you can have your sunshine
Let the devil take the day
Lord, I’m a midnight man

I ain’t so hard to figure
Ain’t no complicated man
I’m just tryin’ to kill this heartache
Darlin’, any way I can
Baby, let me come on over
And we’ll pull your blinds down low
And we won’t tell nobody
Nothin’ they don’t need to know
And I’ll leave you with a memory
And a smile that’s yours alone
Lord, I’m a midnight man

When I hear the rooster crowin’
When I hear the church bell chime
Baby, that‘s my way of knowin’
That it‘s time to say good night
‘Cause I like to go out drinkin’
And I like to go downtown
See the bright lights burnin’
And lay my troubles down
Baby, you can have your sunshine
Let the devil take the day
Lord, I’m a midnight man
