Lyrics:

Somebody’s gonna hurt someone
before the night is through
Somebody’s gonna come undone.
There’s nothin’ we can do.
Everybody wants to touch somebody if
it takes all night.
Everybody wants to take a little chance,
Make it come out right.
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight,
a heartache tonight, I know.

There’s gonna be a heartache tonight,
a heartache tonight, I know.

There’s gonna be a heartache tonight, I know.
Lord, I know.
Some people like to stay out late
Some folks can’t hold out that long
But nobody wants to go home now.
there’s too much goin’ on.
This night is gonna last forever.
Last all, last all summer long.
Some time before the sun comes up
The radio is gonna play that song.
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, I know.
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, I know.
Lord I know.
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight,
the moon’s shinin’ bright
so turn out the light, and we’ll get it right.
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight, a
heartache tonight I know.
Heartache baby,
Somebody’s gonna hurt someone, (somebody)
Before the night is through
Somebody’s gonna come undone,
There’s nothin’ we can do
(Everybody) Everybody wants to touch somebody
if it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
To make it come out right
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight ,I know
Let’s go.
We can beat around the bushes;
we can get down to the bone
We can leave it in the parkin’ lot,
but either way, there’s gonna be a
heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know.
There’ll be a heartache tonight
a heartache tonight I know.

Today on Dances with Bass radio, our hearts are heavy with the news of Glenn Frey’s passing. January 2016 has been a terrible month insofar as celebrity deaths are concerned, but this one really hurts. As was said in the DVD documentary, History of the Eagles, “people don’t just listen to the Eagles, they do things to the Eagles, and they live their lives to the Eagles.

So, today, we’re honoring the great Glenn Frey. There many songs I could choose, but Heartache Tonight has always been my favorite, and the title is befitting of how I feel after just having heard this tragic news.
