South City Midnight Lady

Up all night, I could not sleep
 The whiskey that I drank was cheap
 With shakin' hands, I went and I lit up my last cigarette
 Well, the sun came, the night had fled
 And sleepy-eyed, I reached my bed
 I saw you sleepy, dreamin' there, all covered and warm
 South City midnight lady
 I'm much obliged, indeed
 You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need
 I thought there was no reason
 For all these things I do
 But the smile that I sent out returned with you
 When day has left the night behind
 And shadows roll across my mind
 I sometimes find myself alone, out walking the streets
 Yes, and when I'm feeling down and blue
 Then all I do is think of you
 And all my foolish problems seem to fade away
 South City midnight lady
 I'm much obliged, indeed
 You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need
 I thought there was no reason
 For all these things I do
 But the smile that I sent out returned with you
