The Night Has Got Me Now

Well, it's Midnight in Johnson City

And I'm half drunk at the Mouse's Ear

With the week I had, I'm gonna need

Something a stronger than beer

This pretty lil' thing dancing for a dollar

She knows I got a few left to spend

I'm halfway to trouble by now

We all know how this one ends

So I drank to your memories

'Til they're just a blur

And I'll toast to a goodbye

I wish I would've said first

Kicking and a screaming

As those demons drag me down

Well, I'll face that in the morning

'Cause the night has got me now

I'm trying to get over you

So I had to get under her

Skin and pray she can't feel

How much I hurt

In that smoky, dim-lit room

I'll promise her the moon

But when that sun comes up

She'll be the one left feeling like a fool

So I drank to all their memories

'Til they're just a blur

And I'll toast to a goodbye

That I got to say first

Kicking and a screaming

As those demons drag me down

I'll face lonely every morning

But the night has got me now

Has got me now

And all my friends say someday I'll be okay

Once you get this lost you quit looking for the way

So I drank to your memories

'Til they're just a blur

And I'll toast to a goodbye

I had to say first

Kicking and a screaming

As those demons drag me down

They say it's darkest before the dawn

Lucky for me

The night has got me now

I'll be kicking and a screaming

As those demons finally drag me down

(The night has got me now...)
