| Walking up Broadway, face down in the wind
 | 
| The mission bells ring as the night falls in If I had a car, man I’d fill her up and drive
 | 
| Where the bright lights shine and the strong survive
 | 
| You know I call myself a writer but I never get paid
 | 
| Send letters back home, tell 'em all I got it made
 | 
| They’re standing in line to hear the songs I write
 | 
| Like the one about the loser singing just another night
 | 
| It’s just another (just another)
 | 
| It’s just another night
 | 
| Ain’t got myself a girl, I ain’t even had a bite
 | 
| There’s people on the west side living life right
 | 
| But down here in this neighborhood
 | 
| It’s just another (just another night)
 | 
| Took the Illinois Central to the California shore
 | 
| Looking for a life with a little bit more
 | 
| (Little bit more)
 | 
| But brother in one year the only pleasure I’ve found
 | 
| Was a pretty seorita down in Tiajuana town
 | 
| And it’s just another (just another)
 | 
| It’s just another night
 | 
| Ain’t got myself a girl, I ain’t even had a bite
 | 
| There’s people on the west side living it up right
 | 
| But down here in this neighborhood
 | 
| It’s just another (just another night)
 | 
| Last night I heard a shotgun firing
 | 
| Through my house it rang
 | 
| Local boy shot by a southside gang
 | 
| You know there ain’t no justice
 | 
| In the streets of the deprived
 | 
| Just a place down on the corner
 | 
| Where you thank God you’re alive
 | 
| You know it’s just another
 | 
| It’s just another night
 | 
| Ain’t got myself a girl, I ain’t even had a bite
 | 
| There’s people on the west side living it up right
 | 
| But down here in this neighborhood
 | 
| It’s just another (just another)
 | 
| Yeah, it’s just another
 | 
| It’s just another night
 | 
| It’s just another night
 | 
| Ain’t got myself a girl, I ain’t even had a bite
 | 
| (I ain’t even had a bite)
 | 
| There’s people on the west side living it up right
 | 
| But down here in this neighborhood
 | 
| It’s just another (just another night)
 | 
| Oh, it’s just another night
 | 
| Ain’t got myself a girl, I ain’t even had a bite
 | 
| There’s people on the west side living life right
 | 
| (Living life right)
 | 
| But down here in this neighborhood
 | 
| It’s just another
 | 
| Well, it’s just another night |
