Lyrics

When that evenin', evenin' sun goes down
You'll find me somewhere hangin' around
The night life, ain't no good life
People but it's my life
Yeah, just listen to the blues, people
Listen to what they're sayin'
Yeah, just listen to the blues, people
Listen to the way they're playin'
They tell me life's an empty scene
An avenue of broken dreams
The night life, yeah, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
Written by: Paul Buskirk, Walt Breeland, Willie Nelson
