Lyrics
When the evening sun goes down
Referencing the end of the day
You will find me hangin' 'round
Indicating a tendency to spend time there
Oh, the night life ain't no good life
Even though it's not ideal, the nightlife
But it's my life
Despite its drawbacks, it's the life chosen
Many people just like me
Similar individuals to the singer
Dreamin' of old used-to-be
Longing for past experiences
Oh, the night life ain't no good life
Again, acknowledging the negative aspect of nightlife
But it's my life
Reiterating the personal choice despite drawbacks
Well, listen to the blues they're playin'
Referring to the music expressing sorrow
Yeah, listen to what the blues are sayin'
Urging attention to the messages in the blues
Mine is just another scene
One more instance of a broken dream scenario
From the world of broken dreams
Highlighting the desolation of shattered dreams
Oh, the night life ain't no good life
Despite its negativity, still embraced as one's life
But it's my life
Reiterating the personal acceptance of this life
Yeah, when the evening sun goes down
Repeating the idea of being present during evenings
You will find me hangin' 'round
Continuing the indication of frequenting that time
Oh, the night life ain't no good life
Reaffirming the negative aspect of nightlife
But it's my life
Despite the negativity, it's the chosen life
Many people just like me
Highlighting similarity in aspirations
Dreamin' of old used-to-be
Desiring past experiences
Oh, the night life ain't no good life
Once again, acknowledging the drawbacks of nightlife
But it's my life
Despite drawbacks, it's a personal choice
Oh, listen to the blues they're playin'
Emphasizing the emotional impact of blues music
Yeah, listen to what the blues are sayin'
Encouraging attention to the blues' messages
Well, mine is just another scene
Yet another portrayal of shattered dreams
From the world of broken dreams
Reinforcing the desolation of broken dreams
Oh, the night life ain't no good life
Despite its negativity, still embraced as one's life
But it's my life
Personal acceptance of this life despite its drawbacks
