Jude Cole Just Another Night Lyrics

Walking up Broadway, face down in the wind
The mission bells ring as the night falls in
If I had a car, man I'd fill her up and drive
Where the bright lights shine and the strong survive
You know I call myself a writer but I never get paid
Send letters back home, tell 'em all I got it made
They're standing in line to hear the songs I write
Like the one about the loser singing just another night
It's just another (just another)
It's just another night
Ain't got myself a girl, I ain't even had a bite
There's people on the west side living life right
But down here in this neighborhood
It's just another (just another night)
Took the Illinois Central to the California shore
Looking for a life with a little bit more
(Little bit more)
But brother in one year the only pleasure I've found
Was a pretty señorita down in Tiajuana town
And it's just another (just another)
It's just another night
Ain't got myself a girl, I ain't even had a bite
There's people on the west side living it up right
But down here in this neighborhood
It's just another (just another night)
Last night I heard a shotgun firing
Through my house it rang
Local boy shot by a southside gang
You know there ain't no justice
In the streets of the deprived
Just a place down on the corner
Where you thank God you're alive
[ Solo ]
You know it's just another
It's just another night
Ain't got myself a girl, I ain't even had a bite
There's people on the west side living it up right
But down here in this neighborhood
It's just another (just another)
Yeah, it's just another
It's just another night
It's just another night
Ain't got myself a girl, I ain't even had a bite
(I ain't even had a bite)
There's people on the west side living it up right
But down here in this neighborhood
It's just another (just another night)
Oh, it's just another night
Ain't got myself a girl, I ain't even had a bite
There's people on the west side living life right
(Living life right)
But down here in this neighborhood
It's just another
Well, it's just another night
