    In the 70s I took my then girlfriend to see an artist by the name of Michael Murphy who had a hit by the title of "Wildfire" which he refused to play in a small venue in Atlanta (The Great Southeast Music Hall) and it really ruined the evening for me since it put her in a really bad mood. My only gratification was the beer I bought on a fake ID. Thank you Michael Murphy for nothing and thank you Dan for playing "Closing Time"

    Incredibly humble guy. Talent off the chart. He wrote “Someone Like You”’ (and others) with Adele! And songs for/with Taylor Swift, Jason Mraz, John Legend, JoJo, Stevie Nicks, Gavin DeGraw, Panic At The Disco!, Weezer, HRry Connick Jr, Chris Stapleton, Florence + the Machine, Leon Bridges, Vance Joy, Lukas Graham, Noah Cyrus, just to name a few. One of the most prolific songwriters of our time!

    Closing time, open all the doors
    And let you out into the world
    Closing time, turn all of the lights on
    Over every boy and every girl
    Closing time, one last call for alcohol
    So, finish your whiskey or beer
    Closing time, you don't have to go home
    But you can't stay here
    I know who I want to take me home
    I know who I want to take me home
    I know who I want to take me home
    Take me home
    Closing time, time for you to go out
    To the places you will be from
    Closing time, this room won't be open
    Till your brothers or your sisters come
    So, gather up your jackets, move it to the exits
    I hope you have found a friend
    Closing time, every new beginning
    Comes from some other beginning's end, yeah
    I know who I want to take me home
    I know who I want to take me home
    I know who I want to take me home
    Take me home
    Closing time, time for you to go out
    To the places you will be from
    I know who I want to take me home
    I know who I want to take me home
    I know who I want to take me home
    Take me home
    I know who I want to take me home
    I know who I want to take me home
    I know who I want to take me home
    Take me home
