South City Midnight Lady

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
