HOPE FOR THE NIGHT TIME

I was on the ground

I mean the literal ground

Drunk out of my mind

They said it's closing time

And then they threw me out

I was half asleep

Then they woke me up

Told me everything is going to be what it is

But, yeah, you gotta get up

Then they took me home

Put me in my bed

Took off both my shoes

Said a man can choose

To crawl or stand up

Hope for the night time

Love every stranger

Hope when you don't know

If you can make it up

Hope for the weary, yeah, yeah

Life is contagious

Hope for your journey

Hope for you

I was up before you

Threw out all my booze

Put on my walking shoes

Threw out my drinking shoes

And swore I'd give it up

I made it to around six

We're talking p.m. now

Was back at the same bar

I'll get it started tomorrow

I ain't ready now

I was on the ground

I mean the literal ground

Drunk out of my mind

They said it's closing time

And then they threw me out

Hope for the night time

Love every stranger

Hope when you don't know

If you can make it up

Hope for the weary

Life is contagious

Hope for your journey

Hope for you
