It It Takes All Night Songtext
von Frank Black

Some call it the ribbon
Some say the white line
I say truckstop living
Well, it suits me fine

Every day of the week
Every day of the week
We heard some other fellers talking
I think it′s gonna be a good fight
Tonight the radio is rocking
I'm gonna hear my favorite song
If it takes all night

If it takes all night, if it takes all night
If it takes all night, if it takes all night

I′m going to wash my favorite shirt
In downtown Marseilles
It's got the same old dirt
From up in Calais, oh-oh


How many days and weeks?
How many days and weeks?
Now every job, it is important
But still sometimes the money's right
I saw the ghost of Johnny Horton
He said we′re going to make El Paso

If it takes all night, if it takes all night
If it takes all night, if it takes all night
If it takes all night, if it takes all night
If it takes all night, if it takes all night

I lost my favorite cook
He left little Siam
For many years I looked
He said here I am, oh-oh

Every day of the week
Every day of the week
Some got to go and see their mama
Some got to play a show tonight
I got to go and see my baby
When next I sleep, I′ll be with her
If it takes all night

If it takes all night, if it takes all night
If it takes all night, if it takes all night

If it takes all night, if it takes all night
If it takes all night, if it takes all night


If it takes all night, if it takes all night
If it takes all night, if it takes all night

If it takes all night, if it takes all night (night, night, night, night)
If it takes all night (night, night, night, night)
