On a Real Good Night

Bobby Bare · Encore [Columbia] [1981]

(Rodney Crowell)



On a real good night

There's nothing I can do there's nothing I can use

On a real good night

There's no chance I won't take cause I got nothing I could lose

On a real good night

Like a bird just learn to fly high on silver wings glide upon the wind

And I come and go like sunshine and old friends.



Oh, I'll be your lover, oh, I'll be your friend

Oh, I can be nothing at all

A singer a dancer a drinker of wine

Ald sleeper wherever I fall.



--- Instrumental ---



Oh, I'll be your lover, oh, I'll be your friend

Oh, I can be nothing at all

A singer a dancer a drinker of wine

Ald sleeper wherever I fall.



--- Instrumental ---



Oh, I'll be your lover, oh, I'll be your friend

Oh, I can be nothing at all

A singer a dancer a drinker of wine

Ald sleeper wherever I fall.



Oh, I'll be your lover, oh, I'll be your friend

Oh, I can be nothing at all

A singer a dancer a drinker of wine

Ald sleeper wherever I fall...
