The amber of the fire is startin' to fade
But it's now that I'm at my best
Give the angel on my shoulder a break for the night
'Cause the devil ain't gettin' no rest
I've got thousands of stories
You've heard them before yet I'll tell them again and again
Come on, pull up a stool now and buy me a drink
And please think of me as a friend
We'll live for the weekend, each city's the same
There's a bar on the corner where they won't know your name
There's plenty of drink, they've been saving your chair
It's our second home, we ain't goin' nowhere
It's the end, end of the night
But we ain't goin' home
It's the end, end of the night
But we ain't goin' home
It's the end, end of the night
But we ain't goin' home
This life, it ain't easy
Still we've managed to win
There's times we've been knocked down
Yeah, we've led with our chin
We're generous guys with our hearts on our sleeves
Misunderstood, though the boss disagrees
We can't catch a break, wrote the book on bad luck
We'd hold down a job if it didn't all suck
It's the end, end of the night
But we ain't goin' home
It's the end, end of the night
But we ain't goin' home
It's the end, end of the night
But we ain't goin' home
The bartender's spoken and he's made it clear
If you ain't goin' home then you ain't stayin' here
You can't shut us off and you won't turn us down
There's plenty of joints who'll be grateful to have us around
It's the end, end of the night
But we ain't goin' home
It's the end, end of the night
But we ain't goin' home
It's the end, end of the night
But we ain't goin' home
You've beaten me black and you've beaten me blue
The scars are well worn on my face
I've packed up the bags and I've sulked off in shame
For one last walk of disgrace
It's the end, end of the night
But we ain't goin' home
It's the end, end of the night
But we ain't goin' home
It's the end, end of the night
But we ain't goin' home
(We ain't goin' home)
(We ain't goin' home)
(We ain't goin' home)
(Gotta go to work!)
