Runnin' With the Night  Robert Earl Keen

Runnin' With the Night
Written by: Robert Earl Keen
CD: Robert Earl Keen - Picnic
From: Andrew@lyonap.force9.co.uk
Intro: A F#m C#m D A F#m E A
It's [A]midnight on the [D]interstate and I'm [F#m]flying like a [E]bird
[A]I was talking to a [F#m]friend of mine, he said
"[C#m]Have you heard the [D]word?"
[A]"I've got some people [D]comin' by to [F#m]celebrate the [E]show,
[A]Some of them are [D]new in town and [E]some of them you [A]know"
[A]I've got a local [D]station on, [F#m]Tejano music [E]playing
[A]I do my best to [F#m]sing along but I [C#m]don't know what they're [D]saying
[A]No le puedo [D]entender but you [F#m]know that it's [E]alright
[A]I'm headed down to [D]San Antone, [E]runnin' with the [A]night
[A]I've never been no daytime guy
[E]Love the neon [A]light
I'm a [D]saxophone, [F#m]flash of chrome
[E]Runnin' with the [A]night
[A]I lost my job a [D]month ago so I [F#m]took a small va[E]cation
[A]I went out west to [F#m]make the best of my [C#m]lowdown situa[D]tion
[A]Moved in with my [D]sister you know [F#m]she works every [E]day
[A]We don't see each [D]other much but I [E]guess it's just that [A]way
[A]I've never been no daytime guy
[E]Love the neon [A]light
I'm a [D]swingin' door, a [F#m]meteor
[E]Runnin' with the [A]night
[A]I've settled down a [D]time or two and [F#m]tried the other [E]way
But I [A]don't know [F#m]what to do [C#m]with myself all [D]day
[A]The sun goes down you [D]give you love one [F#m]last long goodnight [E]kiss
Then you [A]stay awake [D]thinkin' 'bout [E]everything you [A]miss
[A]I've never been no daytime guy
[E]Love the neon [A]light
I'm a [D]secret plan, a [F#m]highwayman
[E]Runnin' with the [A]night
[A]I was born in the [D]wintertime under[F#m]neath a purple [E]sky
[A]I packed my things at [F#m]seventeen and I [C#m]kissed my folks good[D]bye
[A]Got no complaints, [D]no regrets, I [F#m]got no grand de[E]sign
[A]I'll ride the horse that [D]brought me here
'Till I [E]cross that finish [A]line
[A]I've never been no daytime guy, [E]love the neon [A]light
I'm an [D]amber eye, a [F#m]coyote's cry
[E]Runnin' with the [A]night
I'm a [D]wall of fire, an [F#m]angel choir
[E]Runnin' with the [A]night
