Robert Earl Keen, Jr. (born January 11, 1956 in Houston, Texas) is an American singer-songwriter. Growing up, Keen was interested in music, sports, movies and writing. He attended Texas A&M University, enrolling in the school of journalism. Disappointed in the College Station, Texas music scene, he began playing guitar and learned to read and write music, basing his style on folk, country, blues and roots rock. In 1977 he rented a house from landlord Jack Boyett, where his neighbor was a then-unknown Lyle Lovett.

Intro: AF#mC#mDAF#mEA
ADF#mE It's midnight on the interstate and I'm flying like a bird AF#m I was talking to a friend of mine, he said C#mD "Have you heard the word?" ADF#mE "I've got some people comin' by to celebrate the show, ADEA Some of them are new in town and some of them you know"
ADF#mE I've got a local station on, Tejano music playing AF#mC#mD I do my best to sing along but I don't know what they're saying ADF#mE No le puedo entender but you know that it's alright ADEA I'm headed down to San Antone, runnin' with the night
A I've never been no daytime guy EA Love the neon light DF#m I'm a saxophone, flash of chrome EA Runnin' with the night
ADF#mE I lost my job a month ago so I took a small vacation AF#mC#mD I went out west to make the best of my lowdown situation ADF#mE Moved in with my sister you know she works every day ADEA We don't see each other much but I guess it's just that way
A I've never been no daytime guy EA Love the neon light DF#m I'm a swingin' door, a meteor EA Runnin' with the night
ADF#mE I've settled down a time or two and tried the other way AF#mC#mD But I don't know what to do with myself all day ADF#mE The sun goes down you give you love one last long goodnight kiss ADEA Then you stay awake thinkin' 'bout everything you miss
A I've never been no daytime guy EA Love the neon light DF#m I'm a secret plan, a highwayman EA Runnin' with the night
ADF#mE I was born in the wintertime underneath a purple sky AF#mC#mD I packed my things at seventeen and I kissed my folks goodbye ADF#mE Got no complaints, no regrets, I got no grand design AD I'll ride the horse that brought me here EA 'Till I cross that finish line
AEA I've never been no daytime guy, love the neon light DF#m I'm an amber eye, a coyote's cry EA Runnin' with the night DF#m I'm a wall of fire, an angel choir EA Runnin' with the night
