Well now the wind was howling
The rain brought lightening
When a man gets lonely
His world turns frightening
He disappears inside himself
From way down there well he cries for help
and if the help don't come
his prayers ain't answered
a meanness starts growing like some devil's cancer
There ain't no telling what a man can do
He might write a sad song
He might spill some blood
On a mean night
well on a mean night
well its a mean night
its a mean night out there
Well on a pitch black stretch of south 18
His thoughts talk to him but tonight they scream
Its like he lost what he was before
He's fighting with his demons it's an all out war
He wants to be his Daddy's son
like his Momma said
be his baby's lover in their bed
it's like he's lost where's he belonged
he's got some bad thoughts driving him
stearing him wrong
On a mean night
Road to no where
On a mean night
The lonely go there
It's a mean night
Beware it's a mean night out there
Well now you hate the things you've done
Afraid of what you might do
There ain't no telling with a man like you
That dark voice whispers in your ear
You might write a sad song
You might disappear
yeahhh yeahhh
Well on a mean night
Well it's a mean night
Well it's a mean night
Yeah it's a mean night out there
Well on a mean night
Well it's a mean night
Yeah it's a mean night
