Текст The Night Game – American Nights

He was 18 and wasted
Bedroom in the basement
Parents house Tucson, Arizona
What do you expect from a high school diploma

Won’t you take me out
I hear the midnight streets are calling
You can hold me down
But like a bird I’m just free falling

Here’s to these American nights
We’re having the time of our lives
Living, dreaming, feeling, never sleeping
Til we see the morning light
On these American nights

Neighborhood kid, just back from the desert
Tattoo and a discharge letter
VA in the St. John’s
6 times a week, he still sleeps with his boots on
She skipped track up to Brooklyn
With a dream and some dark skin
Graveyard at the Rhino
«This is the place where the stars shine, you know»

Won’t you take me out
I hear the midnight streets are calling
You can hold me down
But like a bird I’m just free falling

Here’s to these American nights

Hey
Hey
Hey
These American nights
Hey
These American nights
Hey

The sky’s black in November
Nothing good lasts forever
12 gauge heart in a machine gun town
Whole life running, you can’t stop now

Here’s to these American nights
We’re having the time of our lives
Living on a feeling, I got a feeling
That it’s gonna be alright
On these American nights

These American nights
These American nights
These American nights
These American nights
On these American nights
