"The Night Has Got Me Now" lyrics

Well, it's Midnight in Johnson City
And I'm half drunk at the Mouse's Ear
With the week I had, I'm gonna need
Something a stronger than beer
This pretty lil' thing dancing for a dollar
She knows I got a few left to spend
I'm halfway to trouble by now
We all know how this one ends

So I drank to your memories
'Til they're just a blur
And I'll toast to a goodbye
I wish I would've said first
Kicking and a screaming
As those demons drag me down
Well, I'll face that in the morning
'Cause the night has got me now

I'm trying to get over you
So I had to get under her
skin and pray she can't feel
How much I hurt
In that smoky, dim-lit room
I'll promise her the moon
But when that sun comes up
She'll be the one left feeling like a fool

So I drank to all their memories
'Til they're just a blur
And I'll toast to a goodbye
That I got to say first
Kicking and a screaming
As those demons drag me down
I'll face lonely every morning
But the night has got me now
has got me now

And all my friends say someday I'll be okay
Once you get this lost you quit looking for the way

So I drank to your memories
'Til they're just a blur
And I'll toast to a goodbye
I had to say first
Kicking and a screaming
As those demons drag me down
They say it's darkest before the dawn
Lucky for me
The night has got me now

I'll be kicking and a screaming
As those demons finally drag me down

(The night has got me now...)
(Well, it's Midnight in Johnson City
And I'm half drunk at the Mouse's Ear
With the week I had, I'm gonna need
Something a stronger than beer)
