October Night

Just like some October night it came on much too quickly
I’m tired of getting older with no one getting older with me
I ain’t the finest man but him I never met
And if I did, don’t think I’d bow down

Almost asked my good friend Katie if she would
   come home with me
You know I think I love her, oh, she’s so pretty
But you know she has a man somewhere in town
I wouldn’t want him around
Don’t want no showdown

Chorus:
But tonight it’s all right I don’t feel empty
And there’s no more pain inside
Just the sound of the streets
The lights in the window
And the memory of any woman’s eyes

Well you know there’s a road heads out of town,
   someday I’ll be on it
Leave behind the friends I’ve made,
   but I hope there’s more comin’
I ain’t the finest man but if I ever was
It was because
I didn’t hang around

Chorus
