Lyrics

This Must Be The Night
Hello Knoxville, Tuscaloosa, Lafayette, Hey Carencro
I was a young man when I left here years ago
I was the one and only witness, I saw John Pietro and what he’d done
He swore he’d kill me before the trial, so I chose to run
Chorus
Now the sun is going down, a new moon on the rise
Thunderclouds are rollin’ in across the summer sky
And it’s hard to shake the feeling something isn’t right
If something’s going to happen, This Must Be The Night
Mona Lisa, your face haunts me
Where he hid your body, nobody knows
Without me there to convict him, they had to let him go
Now I never was no hero, but I know what’s wrong and right
I’ve been running for so long, now I’m coming home tonight
Chorus
Now the sun is going down, a new moon on the rise
Thunderclouds are rollin’ in across the summer sky
And it’s hard to shake the feeling something isn’t right
If something’s going to happen, This Must Be The Night
He was standing alone, back in the shadows
Just like he knew that I’d come
There was no time to speak, he aimed his rifle
And I went for my gun
Hello Shreveport, Texarkana, from Kansas City to who knows where
I’ve got friends in Chicago, they won’t look for me there
I pray the Lord will forgive me, when it’s my time to go
I left a man in Louisiana, where he won’t hurt no one no more
Chorus
Now the sun is going down, a new moon on the rise
Thunderclouds are rollin’ in across the summer sky
And it’s hard to shake the feeling something isn’t right
If something’s going to happen, This Must Be The Night
