[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
Bruce Berry was a working man
He used to load that Econoline van
A sparkle was in his eye
But his life was in his hands
Late at night when the people were gone
He used to pick up my guitar
And sing a song in a shaky voice
Sing a song in a shaky, shaky voice
Sing a song in a shaky voice
That was real as the night is long

[Chorus]
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night

[Verse 2]
Well, early in the mornin', at the break of day
He used to sleep until the afternoon
And if you never heard him sing
I guess you won't too soon
'Cause, people, let me tell you
It sent a chill up and down my spine
When I picked up the telephone
And heard that he'd died out on the mainline
[Chorus]
Tonight's the night, oh, tonight's the night, oh oh
Tonight's the night, oh, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Oh Bruce

Late at night when the people were gone

And sing a song in a shaky, shaky voice
Sing a song in a shaky, shaky voice
Sing a song in a shaky, shaky voice
Sing a song in a shaky, shaky voice
That was real as the night is long

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, yes it is, tonight's the night

[Outro]
Sleep until the afternoon
Oh oh oh
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, yes it is, 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
Oh oh oh
