The Last One of the Night People
The waitresses counted their tips
And they always went Home bartender's just closed the door
The place down the street has been closed for two hours
There's no place to have just one more
And you played all your best riffs and you told all your best jokes
You sang all the best songs you know.
And the girl you've been eyeing down at the first table
She left half an hour ago
You're the last one of the night people
Walking with you coat in your hand
You're the last one of the night people
Hitting the street Once again
Sky getting brighter, oh, it shows mornings promised
Look the sun's coming up before long
The streets are so empty
But soon they'll be filling with the workday rush hour throng
And you stare at the ground
As you're walking along
Remembering the holes in your shoes
The rhythm of footsteps keep echoing over
Over the beat of the blues
You're the last one of night people
Taking your time walking slow
You're the last one of the night people
Kicking a can as you go
Counting the lampposts or the cracks in the sidewalk
You're staring with eyes open wide
See your reflection in the shops that are sleeping
Oh,you know that reflection inside
And there's only one car on the street still in motion
It's the cops on their moring patrol
'Cept they pay no attention because it's businesses as usual
It just takes one glimpse and they'll know
You're last one of the night people
Trying to get home before dawn
You're last one of the night people
Walking and singing your song
You're just walking and singing  singin and livin'in song
