Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
And heard that he'd died out on the mainline
Well, late at night when the people were gone
And sing a song in a shaky voice
He used to sleep until the afternoon
That was real as the day was long
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
'Cause people, let me tell you
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Bruce Berry was a working man
He used to pick up my guitar
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
It sent a chill up and down my spine
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
I guess you won't too soon
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
A sparkle was in his eye
If you never heard him sing
He used to load that crinoline van
When I picked up the telephone
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
But his life was in his hands
Well, early in the mornin' at the break of day
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
