Story Behind the Song
She told me I sweat-sleep all the time, and being Jewish, she thinks it's probably cancer. In stark contrast, I thought it was a great idea for a tune.
Lyrics
Night Sweats
I played my guitar.... She played hard to get
If I knew what I know now I'd've never placed that bet
I shoulda known better... all I won was regret
Twenty five years later I still ain't paid the debt
That's the price of admission
What you see ain't what you get
But there's no way that I'd have missed 'em
All she gave me was the Night Sweats
I twisted and turned... like a fish in a net
She played me for sure, from the second that we met
The day that she left, all she left me was the bed
And the scent of love goin' round and round my head
Lord I tried to find out... was it something I said?
All I had was questions, and a salty soakin' bed
She left without a word, she left me hangin' by a thread
Only lonely memories, dreams and wakin' up in a cold sweat
