I used to love to stay out late,
Coffee black and whiskey straight,
Talking trash, making flirt,
Philosophizing in the dirt,
Well I’m a happy man, doing alright,
But sometimes… I just miss the night

I used to love to cruise the strip,
strut my stuff, flex my hip,
Hang with my buddies and roll a big fat spliff,
I’m a left hand turned right, a black cat turned white,
But sometimes… I just miss the night.

Now I ain’t saying I want to leave your side,
Just because I remember running wild,
‘Cause living with the animals and with our child,
we’ve got to get up with the morning light (2x),
and I’m so satisfied –
I just miss the night.

Moonshine, making time,
Beautiful lovers, buds on the vine,
Making love until the broad daylight,
I miss the night.

I used to love to take a trip,
The Milky Way in a crystal ship,
Up there the stars are very very bright,
Yeah, I miss the night.
