(W. Nelson, P. Buskirk, W. Breeland)



When the evenin'

Sun goes down

You can find me

Hangin' around

Oh the night life

Ain't no good life

But it's my life



Many people

Just like me

Dreaming of

Old used to be's

Oh the night life

It ain't no good life

But it's my life



Oh listen to the blues they're playin'

Oh listen to what the blues are sayin'



Mine is just

Another scheme

In a world

Of broken dreams

Oh the night life

It ain't no good life

But it's my life



(Play me some blues boys)



Oh listen to the blues they're playin'

Oh listen to what the blues are sayin'



When the evenin'

Sun goes down

You can find me

Hangin' around

Oh the night life

It ain't no good life

But it's my life



The night life

Ain't no good life

But it's my life



Oh I love that song. You know I told you about the men

who have influenced me in my music.

Well now I want to tell you about the women.

And there's lots of them.

But this first one I wanna tell you about,

I admired her for a long time .

First of all, it was because of her songwriting.

I liked the way she always told a story in her songs.

And then in her singing.

I always loved to listen to her sing.

She had a different style, a different quality about it.

She's so witty, so personable and you know

no matter whether it's her singing,

her songwriting, or her acting,

I'll always be a big fan of Dolly Parton!
