Title: SOUTH CITY MIDNIGHT LADY (Doobie Bros) [Verse] Up all night I could not sleep The whiskey that I drank was cheap With shakin’ hands I wait and I lit up my last cigarette Well the sun came the night had fled And sleepy-eyed I reached my bed I saw you sleepy dreamin there all covered and warm [Chorus] South city midnight lady I’m much obliged indeed You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need I thought there was no reason For all these things I do But the smile that I sent out returned with you [Verse] When day has left the night behind And shadows roll across my mind I sometimes find myself alone and out walking the street Yes and when I’m feelin’ down and blue Then all I do is think of you And all my foolish problems seem to fade away [Chorus] South city midnight lady I’m much obliged indeed You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need I thought there was no reason For all these things I do But the smile that I sent out returned with you [Solo] 4x G C 4x [Chorus] South city midnight lady I’m much obliged indeed You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need I thought there was no reason For all these things I do But the smile that I sent out returned with you [Outro] (4x)

La chanson évoque un homme qui lutte avec ses démons intérieurs, cherchant la paix pendant une nuit d'insomnie. Il consomme de l'alcool pour apaiser ses pensées, mais c'est dans les souvenirs d'une femme qu'il trouve réellement du réconfort et de l'espoir. Sa présence, bien que lointaine, lui redonne le sourire et l'aide à surmonter ses soucis du quotidien, illuminant ses moments sombres. Le contexte semble tourner autour de la solitude et des combats personnels, tout en mettant en avant l'importance d'un amour ou d'une connexion profonde qui peut transformer des nuits agitées en rêves pleins de tendresse et de chaleur. La femme, décrite comme une figure compatissante, est celle qui sauve l'âme tourmentée de cet homme.
