If It Takes All Night

Frank Black

Some call it the ribbon 
Some say the white line 
I say truckstop living 
Well it suits me fine 
Every day of the week (2x) 
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 (5x) 
I'm going to wash my favorite shirt 
In downtown Marseilles 
It’s got the same old dirt 
From up in Calais, oh oh 
How many days and weeks? (2x) 
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 (8x) 
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 (2x) 
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 (x16)
