You can’t have everything you want Death and money all at once If I can only sing what you’d remember You’d remember me when I was gone
Give me something true and real Give me something I can feel Take me back to when I was a child When I first heard my favorite song Take me back to when I was young and wild When I could dream all day long
Overnight, you can’t wait till the morning light ‘Cause you want it all right now Overnight, if you’re gonna do it, then do it right ‘Cause you want it all right now
Always looking for the light But you can’t take it with you when you die Always think you’re smarter than the teacher And you never think you were wrong If you’re holier than the preacher Boy you know you’re not the only one
Overnight, you can’t wait till the morning light ‘Cause you want it all right now Overnight, if you’re gonna do it, then do it right ‘Cause you want it all right now
Why won’t you go? Why would you stay? Every time I turn around There’s another one of you in town
It’s not like they say It’s not like they do, no Every time I come around Somebody’s trying to steal my crown
Overnight, you can’t wait till the morning light ‘Cause you want it all right now Overnight, if you’re gonna do it, then do it right ‘Cause you want it all right now
Overnight, if you’re gonna do it, then do it right ‘Cause you want it all right now
