Lyrics
All Night Long
Well I went down to Canal Street
I was lookin' for a place to lay my head.
I was sick and travel weary,
All I wanted was to finally go to bed.
But I heard the band a-playin'
That good old country music down below.
And I knew I had to stay
For few more hours then I'd have to go.
Well I pulled myself together
And I joined the crowd of people by the door
There was a party going on and couples dancing
All around the cellar floor.
I saw a band up on the stage and they
Were wailin' out a happy country tune
When a pretty young girl smiled at me
I knew I wouldn't get to sleep 'til noon.
Chorus
The lead guitar was off the charts
Singin' out the melody,
The keyboard was hot tonight,
Rippin' out a high harmony.
The bassman was really layin' it down
Rockin' that country song,
The drummer was kickin' out the beat
And the people danced all night long.
Well, I stayed up all night again,
I've been dancin' the hours away,
The band played every song they knew,
And they didn't even take a break.
Well I hooked with little Emmy Lou,
She sure is full of spice,
I'm gonna keep comin' back to this place
'Cause I'm havin' the time of my life
Chorus
The lead guitar was off the charts
Singin' out the melody,
The keyboard was hot tonight,
Rippin' out a high harmony.
The bassman was really layin' it down
Rockin' that country song,
The drummer was kickin' out the beat
And the people danced all night long.
