Tonight's the night,
  tonight's the night
  Tonight's the night,
  tonight's the night
  Tonight's the night,
  tonight's the night
  Tonight's the night,
  tonight's the night.
    Bruce Berry was a working man
  He used to load that Econoline van.
  A sparkle was in his eye
  But his life was in his hands.
    Well, late at night
  when the people were gone
  He used to pick up my guitar
  And sing a song in a shaky voice
  That was real as the day was long.
    Tonight's the night, yes it is,
  tonight's the night
  Tonight's the night, yes it is,
  tonight's the night.
    Early in the mornin'
  at the break of day
  He used to sleep
  until the afternoon.
  If you never heard him sing
  I guess you won't too soon.
    'Cause people let me tell you
  It sent a chill
  up and down my spine
  When I picked up the telephone
  And heard that he'd died
  out on the mainline.
    Tonight's the night,
  tonight's the night
  Tonight's the night,
  tonight's the night.
    Bruce Berry was a working man
  He used to load that Econoline van.
  Well, early in the morning
  at just about the break of day
  He used to sleep
  until the afternoon.
    Tonight's the night, yes it is,
  tonight's the night
  Tonight's the night,
  tonight's the night
  Tonight's the night,
  tonight's the night
  Tonight's the night,
  tonight's the night.
