[Intro | Single-Note Sleaze Riff | Pedal-Tone Guitar] [Verse 1] I got paid around five By seven I was broke Had a twenty in my pocket And a bad idea to go Saw her leaning by the doorway With a cigarette and grin She said, "You looking for some trouble?" I said, "Where do I begin?" [Pre-Chorus] I know that look I know that game Every time I see it It ends the same [Chorus | Anthem | Gang Vocal Support] One bad night away From throwing it all away One bad night away And I'm headed there today I know better That's what I always say But I'm only One bad night away [Verse 2] She knew a place across the river Where they never checked the time We took somebody else's bottle She said, "Don't worry, he'll be fine" By midnight there was shouting By one there was a fight By two we hit the sidewalk Laughing underneath the lights [Pre-Chorus] I know that look I know that game Every time I see it It ends the same [Chorus | Anthem | Gang Vocal Support] One bad night away From throwing it all away One bad night away And I'm headed there today I know better That's what I always say But I'm only One bad night away [Guitar Solo | Classic Hard-Rock Lead | Pentatonic Runs | Wide Bends] [Breakdown | Pedal-Tone Riff | Bass and Drums] No money No ride No good reason To stay inside One phone call One mistake That's about all That it takes [Final Chorus | Full Band | Gang Support] One bad night away From throwing it all away One bad night away And I'm headed there today I know better That's what I always say But I'm only One bad night away One bad night away (ONE BAD NIGHT!) One bad night away [Outro | Main Sleaze Riff | Hard Stop]
