Dawn patrol is makin' the rounds

Been goin' at it since the sun went down

I'll be sleepin' it off from

Another night of tyin' one on.



The sun is risin' and I'm layin' low

Been compromisin' my get up and go

And I'll be burnin' it up

Till both ends of the candle are gone.



And I've seen too many smoke filled bars

Seems like they're never gonna set me free

You might not see the scars

But this nightlife's beatin' the daylights out of me.



Out on the town

Like the night before

Just when I thought

I couldn't go one more.



The sun sets down

I get up and do it again

Night lights are callin'

And I can't turn 'em down.



I've been revolvin' on

This merry-go-round for so long

And know where tomorrow starts

And when today'll end.



And I've seen too many smoke filled bars

Seems like they're never gonna set me free

You might not see the scars

But this nightlife's beatin' the daylights out of me.



--- Instrumental ---



Lord knows, I've seen too many smoke filled bars

Seems like they're never gonna set me free

You might not see the scars

But this nightlife's beatin' the daylights out of me.



Lord, this nightlife's beatin' the daylights out of me.



Lord, this nightlife's beatin' the daylights out of me...
