Intro: A F#m C#m D A F#m E A
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"
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
A
I've never been no daytime guy
E A
Love the neon light
D F#m
I'm a saxophone, flash of chrome
E A
Runnin' with the night
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 but I guess it's just that way
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
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
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
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
A E A
I've never been no daytime guy, love the neon light
D F#m
I'm an amber eye, a coyote's cry
E A
Runnin' with the night
D F#m
I'm a wall of fire, an angel choir
E A
Runnin' with the night
