Bring on the Night

Alan Jackson · Drive [2002]

(C.Craig-K.Stegall-A.Jackson)



It's twilight and the street lights are comin on

I'm in a stream of cars on this boulevard headed home

And I can hardly wait for you to make what's wrong today, seem right

It's been a long hard day so bring on the night.



Bring on the night and pull down the shades

Lock the world outside and throw the key away

And turn on the feelings and turn out the lights

Let's call it a day and bring on the night.



From 9 to 5 it's the same old grind all week long

And the only thing that keeps me sane is comin home

When the sun goes down you know how to set things right

Let's put the day behind us and bring on the night.



Bring on the night and pull down the shades

Lock the world outside and throw the key away

And turn on the feelings and turn out the lights

Let's call it a day and bring on the night.



Let's call it a day and bring on the night...
