Nighthawks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I prowl ev'ryday an night
Now, I am the prowlin' nighthawk
I prowl ev'ryday and night
An the reason I prowl so long
My baby don't treat me right
I have prowled so long
I have prowled so long
'Til it have made my knee bones so'
But when I find the little girl that I love
You won't see me prowl no mo'
Someday
I ain't gon' be no prowlin' man
I said, someday
I won't be no prowlin' man
I said I ain't gon' be mischievous
Ain't gonna be too hard to understand
'Play it, play it, boy'
'You know you've been trav'lin' like I have'
'Play that thing, boy'
Now, I've been ramblin' an prowlin'
Ever since I was twelve years old
I have been ramblin' an prowlin'
Ever since I was twelve years old
An I wouldn't stop ramblin'
For my weight in gold
But someday
I ain't gon' prowl no mo'
Yes, someday
I ain't gon' prowl no mo'
But you know right now
I haven't got no place to go
The song "Nighthawks" by Nighthawks feat. Pat Appleton is a blues song about a man who has been prowling every night and day looking for love from his woman. He identifies himself as the "prowlin' nighthawk" who has been wandering around because his baby doesn't treat him right. The singer is very tired of going around searching for love and wants to find it soon so that he can stop prowling for good. The repeated line "I have prowled so long, 'Til it have made my knee bones so'" emphasizes his desperation to find love and settle down. He admits that he has been prowling since he was twelve years old and declares that he won't be a prowling man anymore someday.
The song talks about the singer's tiredness and longing for a loving relationship with a woman who will treat him right. He is ready to stop being the prowling man someday and hopes that he will find a woman who will make his life complete. The song is a classic blues number with a heart-wrenching message about the pain of being alone and searching for love.

Now, I am the prowlin' nighthawk
