Intro Verse When the sun goes down and the heat stays on The young men fight and carry on It's just a way of life down here in The Gardens Verse This side's mine and that side's yours You can't walk here and break the rules The rules we all know down here in The Gardens Chorus I guess it's one more night that we have to spend With the windows barred and the kids locked in One more night to make your life slowly harden I guess it's one more night that we have to spend Where mommas cry and daddies say "One more night down here in The Gardens" Verse When the boys drive through and the bullets fly The baby plays and waits to die The daddy breaks down and cries in The Gardens Verse He can't have her back and he knows too well 'Cause he's just dying on the hill In this quiet little town called The Gardens Chorus I guess it's one more night that we have to spend With the windows barred and the kids locked in One more night to make your life slowly harden I guess it's one more night that we have to spend Where mommas cry and daddies say "One more night down here in The Gardens" Instrumental Chorus I guess it's one more night that we have to spend With the windows barred and the kids locked in One more night down here in The Gardens In this quiet little town we call The Gardens
