There she found me sitting in a parking lot
With a 40 in my palm
Drinking like I'm trying to forget
Or maybe remember how to hold my head high
Or maybe remember how to hold my head high

Little blonde feel low in a short dress
Makeup from her lashes
Cutting down her face like a knife
We're both thinking the same damn thing
We're both thinking the same damn thing

Don't give up the night, give up tonight
Don't give up the night, give up tonight
Don't give up the night, give up tonight

Cuz you know better…
Cuz you know better…

She was young, he was reckless
God bless it, made a mess when he left her
Feeling helpless she was ready to die
He told her that she was never gonna find love
He told her that she was never gonna find love
I've been selling my soul cheap for a fix
Shaking, trying to make sense of everything
Believe me, I try
We're both thinking the same damn thing
We're all thinking the same damn thing

Don't give up the night, give up tonight
Don't give up the night, give up tonight
Don't give up the night, give up tonight

Cuz you know better…
Cuz you know better…

This is some mess we're in
We wanna prove them wrong
Just to break even
Chin up, kid, go live the dream
Chin up, kid, go live the dream

Don't give up the night, give up tonight
Don't give up the night, give up tonight
Don't give up the night, give up tonight

Cuz you know better…
