Letra da Música Drunken Nights In The City de Frankie Miller

I'll tell you a story about a night in the town
It started off drinking and fighting
By the time a was through
I'd near worn out my shoes

I had visited every known dive
All the lights in the alley
Fall dim on the ground, when your trying to see your
Way home
And the all night ladies
In their perfume so fine
Wont leave a poor boy alone

Well the paths of the gambler
Are kneeded too thin
When the cards are all spread on the floor
The six and the seven
I needed to win

And you can't call the bluff any more
So you stand to your feet
And you figure discretely
The best way to pay what you owe
And she hands you a line
Tells you thanks for the time
'You might have brought brains to the show. '

Chorus
Drunken nights on the city
Are showing their toes
They'll take you for all that you owe
You can't judge a book
And you can't judge a crook
Down where the men, they can't go

By early the next morning
I rose up to tight
My eyes were as red as the light
My pockets were empty
And so was my heart
And I promised to put things right
So I went to the preacher
I fell on my knees
I asked the preacher

To right all my wrongs
But he just shook his head

And looked sorry when he said

'You've been on the drink far too long
