Just Another Night - Jude Cole

Walking up Broadway, face down in the wind

The mission bells ring as the night falls in If I had a car, man I’d fill her up and drive

Where the bright lights shine and the strong survive

You know I call myself a writer but I never get paid

Send letters back home, tell 'em all I got it made

They’re standing in line to hear the songs I write

Like the one about the loser singing just another night

It’s just another (just another)

It’s just another night

Ain’t got myself a girl, I ain’t even had a bite

There’s people on the west side living life right

But down here in this neighborhood

It’s just another (just another night)

Took the Illinois Central to the California shore

Looking for a life with a little bit more

(Little bit more)

But brother in one year the only pleasure I’ve found

Was a pretty seorita down in Tiajuana town

And it’s just another (just another)

It’s just another night

Ain’t got myself a girl, I ain’t even had a bite

There’s people on the west side living it up right

But down here in this neighborhood

It’s just another (just another night)

Last night I heard a shotgun firing

Through my house it rang

Local boy shot by a southside gang

You know there ain’t no justice

In the streets of the deprived

Just a place down on the corner

Where you thank God you’re alive

You know it’s just another

It’s just another night

Ain’t got myself a girl, I ain’t even had a bite

There’s people on the west side living it up right

But down here in this neighborhood

It’s just another (just another)

Yeah, it’s just another

It’s just another night

It’s just another night

Ain’t got myself a girl, I ain’t even had a bite

(I ain’t even had a bite)

There’s people on the west side living it up right

But down here in this neighborhood

It’s just another (just another night)

Oh, it’s just another night

Ain’t got myself a girl, I ain’t even had a bite

There’s people on the west side living life right

(Living life right)

But down here in this neighborhood

It’s just another

Well, it’s just another night
