Best Song Lyrics (Part XVIII)

I've been listening to a lot more music in the past year or so.  Part of it is because I've started to use headphones (at a low volume level) while biking.  Another reason is because I've had access to a couple of temporary subscriptions to satellite radio, with it vast number of specialty channels.

Regardless, I've heard a lot of old songs that remind me how good music can be.  One artist that I've been listening to more, and only recently gained an appreciation of, is Bob Seger.

It doesn't matter if it's a solo song or more likely with his famous Silver Bullet Band, Seger has a great library of stuff.  Some of it may have gained excessive popularity from a movie (Old Time Rock and Roll from Risky Business) or from a commercial (Like A Rock from Chevy).  However, other stuff probably deserved more popularity than it got.

As an example of his many great songs with great lyrics, I give you one about a romantic proposition between lonely friends, We've Got Tonight.

I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry, no one will care girl
Look at the stars so far away
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?

Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely
All of my hopes, fading away
I've longed for love, like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching, even after today
So there it is girl, I've said it all now
And here we are babe, what do you say?
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?
