One of those nights

One of Those Nights

by Robert Ramage

(Tempo / Feel:
Mid-tempo groove rock with a disco shimmer)
(think driving bass, pulsing rhythm guitar, splashy keys, crowd-noise energy)
Intro
(Filtered vocals, slow build)
Yeah…
You ever walk into a place
And just know…
Tonight ain’t ending the way it started
Verse 1
Walked into a disco bar, neon dripping off the walls
Flashing lights and crazy sounds, mirrors catching every fall
Music pounding through my chest like it’s calling out my name
Soon as I stepped inside I knew
Tonight wouldn’t be the same
Verse 2
Met the girl I always dreamed of sitting right beside the bar
Hollywood smile, velvet eyes, shining brighter than the stars
She ordered wine, I took a sip, just one taste off her glass
Floor started spinning sideways
Like I stepped off time’s path
Chorus
And I’m floating in the moment, caught between the dark and bright
Feels like I’m falling forward through the middle of the night
If this is real or just a dream, I don’t even care
I’m wide awake inside a trance
One of those nights you never plan
Verse 3
Lights went out, my mind went calm, silence wrapped around my head
Eyes started fluttering like I was better off in bed
Then I woke up in another bar, another girl, another song
Nothing here looks familiar
Man, something’s gone real wrong
Verse 4
I scan the room, I check the walls, that’s when the sign hits me
Big bright letters flashing loud — Viva Las Vegas, baby
“How did I get here?” I laugh, still putting drinks away
Feels like I’m living someone else’s life
Just riding what the night will say
Chorus
Yeah I’m floating in the moment, caught between the dark and bright
Feels like I’m falling forward through the middle of the night
If this is real or just a dream, I don’t even care
I’m wide awake inside a trance
One of those nights you never plan
Verse 5
Now I’m at a blackjack table, every dollar on the line
Dealer’s staring through my soul like he’s reading future signs
Cards hit the felt, I hold my breath, crowd starts losing their mind
Blackjack hits — I double down
And double time
Bridge
Clocks all stopped, faces change
Every win keeps feeding the flame
Every drink bends space and time
Every blink I cross the line
Phone lights up, one message shows
Don’t fall asleep — yeah I should’ve known
Final Chorus
I’m floating in the moment, caught between the dark and bright
Feels like I’m chasing every version of myself tonight
If this is real or just a dream, don’t wake me here
I’m wide awake inside a trance
One of those nights that don’t make sense
Outro
(Strip it back — bass and kick only)
Wake up in the same old bar
Same old drink, same old smile
Five minutes passed… or a lifetime gone
Guess I’ll stay a little while
Yeah…
One more sip
What’s the worst that could happen now?🤯😎
