Leaving the river city, so far away Dreaming over balmy nights and balmy days Leaving our friends, and our security Stepping out on our own Well you never know Twelve hours on a greyhound bus on a stormy night I felt a chill that morning, baby when we arrived Where will we go, then Lady Oscar appears from no-where Took us by the hand and walked us home Well you never know Hell of a night, its been a hell of a ride At least babe if we gotta go home well have seen more than one place Hell of a night, its been a hell of a ride At least babe if we gotta go home well have seen more than one place What of the lady who asked for money, but turned down food What of the baby who will never see the light of the world Where will they go? Aint no one gonna take them no-where, they dont even got a home Not in this world Hell of a night, its been a hell of a ride At least babe if we gotta go home well have seen more than one place Hell of a night, its been a hell of a ride At least babe if we gotta go home well have seen more than one place We pack up the falcon and we fly away We seen God at every turn, didn't even realize it then Where did he go? Was he the wind that blew behind us? Carried us along that open road Well see now you know Hell of a night, its been a hell of a ride At least babe if we gotta go home well have seen more than one place Hell of a night, its been a hell of a ride At least babe if we gotta go home well have seen more than one place Leaving the river city, so far away Dreaming over balmy nights and balmy days Leaving our friends, and our security Stepping out on our own Well you never know... you never know
