Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
[Verse 2]
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
[Verse 3]
Bruce Berry was a working man
He used to load that Econoline van
A sparkle was in his eye
But his life was in his hands
[Verse 4]
Well, late at night when the people were gone
He used to pick up my guitar
And sing a song in a shaky voice
That was real as the day was long
[Verse 5]
Tonight's the night, yes it is
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, yes it is
Tonight's the night
[Verse 6]
Early in the morning at the break of day
He used to sleep until the afternoon
If you never heard him sing
I guess you won't too soon
[Verse 7]
'Cause people, let me tell you
It sent a chill up and down my spine
When I picked up the telephone
And heard that he'd died out on the mainline
[Verse 8]
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
[Verse 9]
Bruce Berry was a working man
He used to load that Econoline van
Well, early in the morning, just about the break of day
He used to sleep until the afternoon
[Verse 10]
Tonight's the night, yes it is
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
[Verse 11]
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
[Verse 12]
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
[Verse 13]
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
