Blues in the Night
Lyrics
Hey, I like to do a little rockin'
Ray, I get a little rowdy myself
See if you can sing the high part, brother
Hank, I can if you give me some help
'Cause we're the kind if we set our minds
We're gona do it or bust
Hey, we ain't half bad for two old cats like us
There ain't nothin' like honky tonk music (Now)
When you get an itching to play (Mhm)
And singing those songs like "Hey, Good Lookin'"
And baby tell me "What'd I Say" (That'll work)
We can take it to the limit
Or take it back to the bus
Ain't no problem for two old cats like us
We've been down a whole lot of alleys
Shook a whole lot of cans
Ain't too much about prowlin' or howlin'
That we don't understand
[Chorus: Ray Charles & Hank Williams, Jr.]
Had a few doors slammed on our tails
We've been kissed and cussed
But everything's cool for two old cats like us
(Play a little)
Now this younger generation, Ray
Is keeping us on our toes (That's right)
Playing everything from western swing
To that good ol' rock and roll
And here we are smack dab in the middle
But I think we can adjust
Hell, there ain't nothing new for two old cats like us
(Tell the truth now)
We've been down a whole lot of alleys
Shook a whole lot of cans
There ain't too much about prowlin' or howlin'
That we don't understand
Had a few doors slammed on our tails
We've been kicked and cussed
But everything's cool for two old cats like us
But everything's cool for two old cats like us
[Outro: Ray Charles & Hank Williams, Jr.]
Let's go prowlin'
Alright
