Open All Night

[Verse 1]
I'm goin' back to New York City
I just can't wait no more for you
I got so lonely, sold what you gave me
'Cept that raincoat of famous blue

[Chorus]
And I don't need time to think about it
I don't let reminders get me down like before
But you know I used to know you
Back when local bars and broken hearts were home
And we were open all night long

[Verse 2]
Maybe I'll go out Chicago
Ain't that where the blues belong?
I heard you came by, shook up by the radio
Somethin' about the top back, wayfarers on

[Chorus]
But I don't need time to think about it
I don't let reminders get me down like before
But you know I used to know you
Back when local bars and broken hearts were home
And we were open all night long

[Bridge]
And all this must've been comin' a long, long time
Twenty-nine years of nerves on fire
Nobody came and nobody saw
I made a wreck of myself with the headlights on
Worked these hands straight down the bone
Carried the weight until the weight took over
Ended up standing at a fork in the road with you

[Chorus]
But I don't need time to think about it
I don't let reminders get me down like before
But you know I used to know you
Back when local bars and your crooked heart was my home

[Outro]
And I will never know the town where you finally settled down
With the top back on a Cadillac and your sunglasses on
And you can't make me whole, I have to find that on my own
But I held you, babe, a long, long time ago
And we were open all night long
