When The Night Was Young lyrics

Home >> Artists starting with R >> Robbie Robertson Lyrics >> When The Night Was Young

We headed straight south in a sundown light

On highway 61 through the delta night

We shared the backroads with cardsharks and grifters

Tent show evangelists and Luke the Drifter



What is lost what is missing

What's been gone way too long



We had dreams when the night was young

We were believers when the night was young

We could change the world stop the war

Never seen nothing like this before

But that was back when the night was young



Sign reads God Bless America guns and ammo

I'm not sure that's what He means

Sign reads repent the end is near

I'm not sure that's what we need



Get your heart beating in the right direction

That's when you make a real connection

We had dreams when the night was young

We were believers when the night was young

We could change the world stop the war

Never seen nothing like this before

But that was back when the night was young



Now Andy Warhol's in the hotel lobby

He's waiting for the late night muse

But she won't be back before morning

She's gone downtown to hear some blues



Like the sun rising out of the sea

It's how you embrace the mystery



We had dreams when the night was young

We were believers when the night was young

We could change the world stop the war

Never seen nothing like this before

But that was way back when the night was young
