Runnin' With the Night
Written by: Robert Earl Keen
CD: Robert Earl Keen - Picnic
From: Andrew@lyonap.force9.co.uk
[Intro]
A  F#m  C#m  D
D  F#m  E  A  A
[Verse 1]
     A               D                  F#m           E
It's midnight on the interstate and I'm flying like a bird
A                  F#m
I was talking to a friend of mine, he said
 C#m                D
"Have you heard the word?"
A                     D            F#m           E
"I've got some people comin' by to celebrate the show,
A                D               E                A
Some of them are new in town and some of them you know"
[Verse 2]
A                D           F#m          E
I've got a local station on, Tejano music playing
A               F#m              C#m                     D
I do my best to sing along but I don't know what they're saying
A           D                F#m            E
No le puedo entender but you know that it's alright
A                  D           E                A
I'm headed down to San Antone, runnin' with the night
[Chorus]
D                    A
  I've never been no daytime guy
E             A
Love the neon light
     D            F#m
I'm a saxophone, a flash of chrome
E                 A
Runnin' with the night
[Interlude]
 A D F#mE
()     
[Verse 3]
A                 D              F#m            E
  I lost my job a month ago so I took a small vacation
A                  F#m                 C#m          D
I went out west to make the best of my lowdown situation
A                D               F#m             E
Moved in with my sister you know she works every day
A                 D                E                    A
We don't see each other much and I guess it's just that way
[Chorus]
D                    A
  I've never been no daytime guy
E             A
Love the neon light
     D                F#m
I'm a swingin' door, a meteor
E                 A
Runnin' with the night
[Interlude]
 A D F#mE

[Verse 4]
A                     D               F#m             E
  I've settled down a time or two and tried the other way
      A          F#m        C#m             D
But I don't know what to do with myself all day
A                     D                 F#m                 E
The sun goes down you give you love one last long goodnight kiss
         A          D              E              A
Then you stay awake thinkin' 'bout everything you miss
[Chorus]
D                    A
  I've never been no daytime guy
E             A
Love the neon light
     D              F#m
I'm a secret plan, a highwayman
E                 A
Runnin' with the night
[Instrumental]
D  F#m  C#m  D
D  F#m  E  A  A
[Verse 5]
A                   D               F#m            E
  I was born in the wintertime underneath a purple sky
A                     F#m             C#m                 D
I packed my things at seventeen and I kissed my folks goodbye
A                  D             F#m            E
Got no complaints, no regrets, I got no grand design
A                        D
I'll ride the horse that brought me here
       E                 A
Till I cross that finish line
[Chorus]
D                    A
  I've never been no daytime guy
E             A
Love the neon light
     D            F#m
I'm a amber eye, a coyote's cry
E                 A
Runnin' with the night
     D               F#m
I'm a wall of fire, a angel choir
E                A  D  F#m E
Runnin' with the night
         A  D  F#m E
With the night
         A  D  F#m E
With the night
         A  D  E   A
With the night
