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 it 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 And tell 'em all I got it made They're standing in line To hear the songs that I write Like the one about the loser Singing just another night It's just another (just another) Just another night Ain't got myself a girl I ain't even had a bite There's people on the West side livin' 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 But brother in one year
The only pleasure I've found Was a pretty senorita Down in Tijuana town It's just another (just another) Just another night Ain't got myself a girl I ain't even had a bite There's people on the West side Livin' it up right But down here in this neighborhood It's just another (just another night) Last night I heard a shotgun firin' 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 on the corner where you thank God you're alive It's just another (just another) Just another night Ain't got myself a girl I ain't even had a bite There's people on the West side Livin' life right But down here in this neighborhood It's just another Just another night
