South City Midnight - The Doobie Brothers

Up all night I could not sleep

The whiskey that I drank was cheap

With shakin’hands I went and I lit up my last cigarette

Well the sun came, night had fled

And sleepy eyed I reached my bed

I saw you sleepy dreamin’there all covered and warm

South City midnight lady

I’m much obliged indeed

You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need

I thought there was no reason

For all these things I do But the smile that sent out returned with you

When day has left the night behind

And shadows roll across my mind

I sometimes find myself alone out walkin’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

South City midnight lady

I’m much obliged indeed

You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need

I thought there was no reason

For all these things I do But the smile that sent out returned with you
