It's midnight on the interstate and I'm flying like a bird 
A                  F#m 
I was talking to a friend of mine, he said 
 C#m                D

A                D               E                A 
Some of them are new in town and some of them you know' 

A                D           F#m          E 
I've got a local station on, Tejano music playing

A           D                F#m            E 
No le puedo entender but you know that it's alright 
A                  D           E                A 
I'm headed down to San Antone, runnin' with the night 

A 
I've never been no daytime guy 
E             A 
Love the neon light 
      D          F#m 
I'm a saxophone, flash of chrome

Runnin' with the night 

A               D              F#m            E 
I lost my job a month ago so I took a small vacation 
A                  F#m                 C#m          D 
I went out west to make the best of my lowdown situation 
A                D               F#m             E 
Moved in with my sister you know she works every day 
A                 D                E                    A 
We don't see each other much but I guess it's just that way 

A 
I've never been no daytime guy 
E             A 
Love the neon light 
      D                F#m 
I'm a swingin' door, a meteor 
E                A 
Runnin' with the night 

A                   D               F#m             E 
I've settled down a time or two and tried the other way 
      A          F#m        C#m             D 
But I don't know what to do with myself all day 
A                     D                 F#m                 E 
The sun goes down you give you love one last long goodnight kiss 
         A          D              E              A 
Then you stay awake thinkin' 'bout everything you miss 

A 
I've never been no daytime guy 
E             A 
Love the neon light 
      D              F#m 
I'm a secret plan, a highwayman 
E                A 
Runnin' with the night 

A                 D               F#m            E 
I was born in the wintertime underneath a purple sky 
A                     F#m             C#m                 D 
I packed my things at seventeen and I kissed my folks goodbye 
A                  D             F#m            E 
Got no complaints, no regrets, I got no grand design 
A                        D 
I'll ride the horse that brought me here 
        E                 A 
'Till I cross that finish line 

A                               E             A 
I've never been no daytime guy, love the neon light 
       D            F#m 
I'm an amber eye, a coyote's cry 
E                A 
Runnin' with the night 
      D                F#m 
I'm a wall of fire, an angel choir 
E                A 
Runnin' with the night
