(Lyle Lovett)

The night she is a true companion

They shuffle in

They hear the sound

But by night's end

It's night's abandon

You look across the floor

Ain't anyone around



Closing time

Unplug them people

And send them home

It's closing time



Now Kenny he's been mixing sound all evening

Sometimes I think that boy

He ain't got no ears

And Kathy's laughing

Kathy's always laughing

Well keep on laughing Kathy

Just make it out of here



Closing time

Unplug them people

And send them home

It's closing time



So stack those chairs upon those tables

And stack those empties upon that bar

And count your money

And count my money

And hear those bottles ringing

You know where you are



Closing time

Unplug them people

And send them home

It's closing time



The night's all that's left behind

You take your part and I'll take mine

And go on home

It's closing time
