Make Mine Night Time

Bill Anderson · Nashville Mirrors [MCA] [1980]

(Curly Putman - Mike Kosser)



Make mine night time, honky tonk women

And bright signs I gotta play at the end of the day

Give me the lights of the city and the feel

Of a woman against me and I'm on my way.



Places, faces, jokers they play like they're aces

Kings and queens in shadowy scenes

Where the wine and the love are flowin'

And the lady you meet let you know she's goin' your way.



When the sun sinks low and the working people go home

And the night life part of the city starts to turn on yeah

Jukebox cowboys're playin' the blues

Goodtime ladies're makin' their moves

Counting the neon below no one's alone



So make mine night time, honky tonk women

And bright signs I gotta play at the end of the day

Give me the lights of the city and the feel

Of a woman against me and I'm on my way.

Make mine night time, honky tonk women

And bright signs I gotta play at the end of the day

Give me the lights of the city and the feel

Of a woman against me and I'm on my way.



I say make mine night time, honky tonk women

And bright signs I gotta play at the end of the day

Give me the lights of the city and the feel

Of a woman against me and I'm on my way...
