Up all night I could not sleep
The whiskey that I drank was cheap
With shakin' hands I wait and I lit up my last cigarette
Well the sun came the night had fled
And sleepy-eyed I reached my bed
I saw you sleepy dreamin there all covered and warm

R: South city midnight lady
I'm much obliged to you
You sure have saved this man who's soul was in need
I thought there was no reason
all these things I do
But the smile that I said I've returned I'm with you

When day has left the night behind
And shadows roll across my mind
sometimes find myself alone and out walking the street
Yes and when I'm feelin' down and blue
Then all I do is think of you
And all my foolish problems seem to fade away

R: 2x
