Up All Night

well johnny mae
 and william j
 hitched a ride
 from sunny l.a.
 with a soldier whod gone AWOL
 stockade bound
 and the got off
 in the texas rain
 and they hopped a southern diesel train
 headed to atlanta
 my hometown
 where she danced all night
 in a go-go bar
 and he tried his best
 to play a bass guitar
 in the absolute worst punk band ever heard
 but she got tired of the georgia clay
 and a drunk musician
 who couldnt even play
 so she tok the bus to boston
 without a word
 he never got to say goodbye
 and he has to wonder why
 it keeps him up all night
 the way she wore her hair
 it keeps him up all night
 her voice is everywhere
 it keeps him up all night
 shes out there
 searchin somewhere
 for somethin of her own
 well old will kept makin bad music worse
 but the whiskey and the pills
 wouldnt quench his thirst no more
 so he stuck a needle in his arm
 then he lost his band
 he started liftin shops
 it didnt take long
 to get cuffed by the cops
 and right about now
 hes a workin on the county farm
 its never easier to say goodbye
 and she has to wonder why
 it keeps her up all night
 the way he held her hand
 it keeps her up all night
 he was her only man
 it keeps her up all night
 shes out there
 searchin somewhere
 for somethin of her own
 to get where you need to be
 youll go through anything
 yes you will
 and on your way to be free
 you know love is everything
 baby love is everything
 it keeps us up all night
 yes love is everything
 it keeps us up all night
 yes love is everything
 it keeps us up all night
 we're out there
 searchin somewhere
 for something of our own
 it keeps us up all night
 we're out there
 searchin somewhere
 for something of our own
