B.B. King - Night Life Lyrics






When that ev'nin' sun goes down,
Yeah, you'll find me hangin' around
Because the night life,
It ain't no good life but it's my life

Yeah, yeah, yeah listen to the blues,
Listen to what they're sayin'
Oh, please listen to the blues,
Listen to the blues they're playin'

Ah, ah, all of the people just like you and me,
They're all dreamin' about their old used to be
Because the night life,
It ain't no good life but it's my life

They tell me life's an empty scene,
An avenue of broken dreams
Because the night life,
It ain't no good life but it's my life

  40. i.... ....

    Who is the pianist? So so so amazing!!!

  41. R.... B....

    BB never sang and played at the same time.He said he couldn't do it.

    R.... B....

    Richard B. Davis oh, he could - in his radio days as the PepTiCon King he had to as there were no other musicians in the studio - but he didnt have the feel for rhythm guitar that others had and chose not to let it interfere with his soloing. If you study his chord technique you'll find it's much like his leads - if it sounded good to him he played it, and rhythm guitar is more structured.

    R.... B....

    JRNelsonSr No

    R.... B....

    Richard B. Davis he uses his two voices at different times

  42. K.... B....

    I love the song played in "Blues is King". that is the best.
