Their shadows danced closer on the honky tonk walls

As the band plays the last verse to that goin' home waltz

And they'll start to peril 'neath the parking lot moon

And some cars and a pickup won't be picked up 'til noon

Somewhere between midnight and daylight

It's an after hours merry-go-round

Somewhere between midnight and daylight

There's a whole lot of love lost and found

I wish I could say now that I've learned it all

From my observations as a fly on the wall

But if lonesome's a crime oh, I'm guilty as sin

'cause tomorrow I'll pickup my ol' pickup again

Somewhere between midnight and daylight

It's an after hours merry-go-round

Somewhere between midnight and daylight

There's a whole lot of love lost and found

There's a whole lot of love lost and found
