Their shadows danced closer 'round the honky tonk walls
As the band plays the last verse to that going home waltz
And they'll start to peril 'neath the parking lot moon
And some cars and a pick-up won't be picked up 'til noon

Somewhere between midnight and daylight
It's an after hours merry-go-round
Somewhere between midnight and daylight
There's a whole lot of love lost and found

I wish I could say now that I've learned it all
From my observations as a fly on the wall
But if lonesome's a crime, oh, I'm guilty as sin
'Cause tomorrow I'll pick up my ol' pick-up again

Somewhere between midnight and daylight
It's an after hours merry-go-round
Somewhere between midnight and daylight
There's a whole lot of love lost and found
There's a whole lot of love lost and found
