Night By Night

"It's a beggars' life", said the Queen of Spain But don't tell it to a poor man 'Cause he's got to kill for every thrill The best he can Everywhere around me I see jealousy and mayhem Because no men have all their peace of mind To carry them Well, I don't really care If it's wrong or if it's right But until my ship comes in I'll live night by night When the joker tried to tell me I could cut it in this rube town When he tried to hang that sign on me I said, "Take it down" When the dawn patrol got to tell you twice They're gonna do it with a shotgun Yes, I'm cashing in this ten-cent life For another one Well, I ain't got the heart To lose another fight So until my ship comes in I'll live night by night Well, I don't really care If it's wrong or if it's right But until my ship comes in I'll live night by night (Night by night) (Night by night) (Night by night) (Night by night)
