There's a strip bar at the corner 
It's a dirty part of town 
Where the streets are getting hotter 
As the sun is going down 
It's been a long day, the longest day 
There's a moon light in the gutter 
And a guitar on my mind for the city blues 
I'm gonna slow down, slow down 
And follow the night for a while 
I'm gonna slow down, slow down 
And follow the night for a while 
Just a little while 
I've got no plan whatsoever 
I'm gonna play it all by ear 
Maybe walk a little further 
Get some cigarettes and beer 
Another long night, the longest night 
There's a moon light in the gutter 
And a guitar on my mind, for the city blues 
I'm gonna slow down, slow down 
And follow the night for a while 
I'm gonna slow down 
And follow the night for a while
