From the recording All the King's Ashes
Lyrics
Well I’m burning up all that midnight oil
Trying to make my way through the night
And come hell or high water
You know I’ll be alright
I’ll be alright
And I’ll be alright
Yeah I’m burning up all that midnight oil
Trying to make my way to the light
And come hell or high water
You know I’ll be alright
I’ll be alright
Gonna be alright
Well I’m burning up that oil, yeah I’m trying to make my way
And I’m doing the best I can with the bills I've gotta pay
And it feels so strange this far from home
And I hate to leave you baby for so long
And everybody knows, now everybody knows
Something’s wrong
Yeah everybody knows, now everybody knows
Something aint right
Something aint right
Something aint right
And everybody knows, now everybody knows
Something’s wrong
And everybody knows, now everybody knows
Something aint right
Something aint right
Something aint right
So I’m burning up, all that midnight oil
Hoping I can just glow away the night
And come hell or high water
You know I’ll be alright
I’ll be alright
Gonna be alright
Gonna be alright
Gonna be all, gonna be all, gonna be all alright
Gonna be all, gonna be all, all right Gonna be all
