Night Life
B.B. King; Van Morrison Lyrics

When that evenin' sun goes down
As the sun sets in the evening, I can be found lingering around.

Yeah you'll find me hangin' around
I spend my evenings in the company of the nightlife, hoping to find some solace.

Because the night life, it ain't no good life
Although the nightlife may not be the best life, it is what I have chosen as my own.

But it's my life
This is the life I have chosen, and I will live it regardless of how others perceive it.

Oh, all the people just like you and me
I am not alone in my choice to spend my evenings in the company of the nightlife.

Oh, they all dreamin' about what they all used to be
Everyone who comes to the nightlife reminisces about the past and what they could have been.

I wanna tell you the night life, it ain't no good life people
The nightlife is not a good life for anyone involved, but we still choose to pursue it.

Yeah, but it's my life
Even though the nightlife is not ideal, it is still my life to live as I choose.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, listen to the blues
Listen to the melancholy music that is played in the nightlife.

Listen to what they're sayin'
Pay attention to the stories and emotions conveyed through the music.

Oh please listen to the blues
The blues expresses the pain and sorrow inherent in the human experience.

Listen to the blues they playin'
The music played in the nightlife is a reflection of the struggles and hardships faced by all.

Hey, they tell me in life
People say that life is nothing but a series of empty moments.

Life is just an empty scene
Life is devoid of any true meaning or purpose.

Oh, oh, an avenue people
The nightlife is a place where people come together to cope with the emptiness of life.

An old avenue of broken dreams
The nightlife is a place where people come to escape their shattered hopes and dreams.

But I tell you the night life, yes it ain't no good life
The nightlife is not a good life, but I still choose to be a part of it regardless.

Hey, but it's my life
This is the life I have chosen, and I will live it without regret.

Yes, oh-ho-ho, yeah, can't stop singin' it
Despite the struggles inherent in the nightlife, I cannot help but continue to be a part of it.

The night life, yes it ain't no good life
The nightlife is filled with pain and sorrow, but I still find myself drawn to it.

People but it's my life
This is the life I have chosen, and I will continue to live it as I see fit.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
This refrain emphasizes the singer's passion for the nightlife and the music played within it.

The night life ain't no good life
The nightlife may be filled with pain and sorrow, but it remains a vital part of my existence.

Oh but it's my life
This is my life, and I will embrace it fully regardless of the struggles involved.

You nkow the night life ain't no good life
The reality of the nightlife is a harsh one, but it remains an important part of my life.

Oh, but it's my life
Despite the inherent pain and sorrow in the nightlife, I choose to embrace it as my own.
