Doobie Brothers - South City Midnight Lady lyrics

Patrick simmons<br><br>Up all night I could not sleep<br>The whiskey that I drank was cheap<br>With shakin' hands I went and I lit up my last cigarette<br>Well the sun came, night had fled<br>And sleepy eyed I reached my bed<br>I saw you sleepy dreamin' there all covered and warm<br><br>South city midnight lady<br>I'm much obliged indeed<br>You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need<br>I thought there was no reason<br>For all these things I do<br>But the smile that sent out returned with you<br><br>When day has left the night behind<br>And shadows roll across my mind<br>I sometimes find myself alone out walkin' the street<br>Yes, and when I'm feelin' down and blue<br>Then all I do is think of you<br>And all my foolish problems seem to fade away<br><br>South city midnight lady<br>I'm much obliged indeed<br>You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need<br>I thought there was no reason<br>For all these things I do<br>But the smile that sent out returned with you
