Shady All​-​Night

from Part Time by Blue Ruin

lyrics

There's a girl that I meet most nights
And early mornings by the boxcar depot
Says she's out there for the fresh air
Promise of new exciting people

But she can't complain though she hardly tries
Looks past the nature of the train she rides
I gave up tryin' for a happy ending
She can be replaced and the work is demanding

Shady all-night bar and grill
with convertible parked out front
You can order what you will
but they'll deliver what you want

Caroline's not out tonight
Sometime's she's gone for a week or more
She'll be back when she's feelin' alright
Just a little paler than before

Up all night I see the light
Though my window as they pull away
There she stands alone in the night
She'll be gone before the light of day

Shady all-night bar and grill
with convertible parked out front
You can order what you will
but they'll deliver what you want

We smoke cigarettes and talk about sex
And think about the things we'd rather forget
Later on I'll return to my station
Pouring Drinks and gettin' tips for conversation

Shady all-night bar and grill
with convertible parked out front
You can order what you will
but they'll deliver what you want
