They say that the night life
   They say it ain't no good life
   But it's my life
  
   I've been a gambler
   I've been a thief
   And most of my good friends
   They don't hold with my belief
  
   They say that the night life
   They say it ain't no good life
   Oh but buy you know that it's my life
  
   And if you've had troubles
   If you've felt them woes
   I don't have to tell you
   How this whole world is so low
  
   Hey now baby
   It can drive you crazy
   Oh but baby
   Baby, the night life's for me
  
   Just one more time
   I'll hit the road
   And I want to thank you
   I want to thank the Lord
  
   For that old night life
   Some say it ain't no good life
   But baby, baby
   There ain't nothing like this night life
