This Night (Ain’t Fit for Nothing But Drinking)

[Verse 1]
Hey lady, I'm looking for a jukebox
And a barstool that fits my bottom side
These streets are just too dark for walking
And I'm in no condition to ride
This midnight rider lost his saddle
And I'm in no mood for thinking
I need some liquid consolation
This night ain't fit for nothing but drinking

[Verse 2]
Now, honey, I know your reputation
I know the drinks that you can fix
Don't get your fingers frosted trying
The way I drink it, it comes already mixed
This weather's just right for drowning
I wanna wash that memory sinking
Bring me one more before the crowd comes
This night ain't fit for nothing but drinking

[Verse 3]
I wish I had a light to fly by
I know I'm bound to crash and burn
I might fall in love again tomorrow
You'll never really get too blue to learn
My baby's gone, the rain is falling
There's not a single star out winking
So come on, elbow, do your number
This night ain't fit for nothing but drinking
This night ain't fit for nothing but drinking
This night ain't fit for nothing but drinking
