If It Takes All Night Lyrics - Frank Black And The Catholics

Some call it the ribbon 

Some say the white line 

I say truck stop living 

Well, it suits me fine 

Every day of the week 

Every day of the week 

We heard some other fellers talking 

I think it's going to be a good fight 

Tonight the radio is rocking 

I'm going to hear my favorite song 

If it takes all night 

If it takes all night 

If it takes all night 

If it takes all night 

If it takes all night 

I'm going to wash my favorite shirt 

In downtown Marseilles 

Its got the same old dirt 

From up in Calais, oh, oh 

How many days and weeks? 

How many days and weeks? 

Now every job it is important 

But still sometimes the money's right 

I saw the ghost of Johnny Horton 

He said we're going to make El Paso 

If it takes all night 

If it takes all night 

If it takes all night 

If it takes all night 

If it takes all night 

If it takes all night 

If it takes all night 

If it takes all night 

I lost my favorite cook 

He left little Siam 

For many years I looked 

He said, "Here I am", oh, oh 

Every day of the week 

Every day of the week 

Some got to go and see their mama 

Some got to play a show tonight 

I got to go and see my baby 

When next I sleep I'll be with her 

If it takes all night 

If it takes all night 

If it takes all night 

...
