Hitched a ride from sunny L.A.
  With a soldier who'd gone AWOL Stockade bound
  And they got off in the Texas rain
  And they hopped a southern diesel train
  Headed to Atlanta
  My hometown

  Where she danced all night
  In a go-go bar
  And he tried his best
  To play bass guitar
  In the absolute worst punk bar ever heard
  Yeah, but she got tired of that Georgia clay
  And a drunk musician
  Who couldn't even play
  So she took a bus to Boston
  Without a word

  He never got to say goodbye
  And he has to wonder why
  It keeps him up all night
  The way she wore her hair
  It keeps him up all night
  Her voice is everywhere
  It keeps him up all night
  She's out there
  Searchin' somewhere
  For somethin' of her own

  Well old Will kept makin' bad music worse
  But the whiskey and the pills
  Wouldn't quench his thirst no more
  So he stuck a needle in his arm
  Then he lost his band
  He started liftin' shops
  It didn't take long
  To get cuffed by the cops
  And right about now
  He's workin' on the county farm

  It's never easier to say goodbye
  And she has to wonder why
  It keeps her up all night
  The way he held her hand
  It keeps her up all night
  He was her only man
  It keeps her up all night
  She's out there
  Searchin' somewhere
  For somethin' of her own

  To get where you need to be
  You'll go thru anything
  Yes, you will
  And on your way to be free
  You know, love is everything
  Baby, love is everything

  It keeps us up all night
  Yes, love is everything
  It keeps us up all night
  Yes, love is everything
  It keeps us up all night
  We're out there
  Searchin' somewhere
  For somethin' of our own
  It keeps us up all night
  We're out there
  Searchin' somewhere
  For somethin' of our own

  Yeah, keep on searchin you
