The Night's Too Long - Patty Loveless

作词：Lucinda Williams

作曲：Lucinda Williams

Sylvia was workin' as

A waitress in Beaumont

She said I'm movin' away

I'm gonna get what I want

I'm tired of these small-town boys

That don't move fast enough

I'm gonna find me one

Who wears a leather jacket and

Likes his livin' rough

So she saved her tips

And overtime and

Bought an old rusty car

She sold most everything

She had to make a brand new start

She said I won't be needing

These silly dresses and nylon hose

'Cause when I get to where

I'm goin' I'm gonna buy

Me all new clothes

The night's too long

It just drags on and on

And then there's never enough

That's when the sun starts comin' up

Don't let go of her hand

You just might be the right man

She loves the night

She loves the night

She doesn't want the night

Don't want it to end

Don't want it to end

She works in an office now and

She guesses the pays all right

She can buy a few new things

To wear and still go out at night

And as soon as she gets home

From work she wants to

Be out with the crowd

Where she can dance and toss

Her hair back and laugh out loud

Well the music's playin' fast

And they just met

He presses up against her

And his shirt's all soaked with sweat

And with her back against the bar

She can listen to the band

And she's holdin' a Corona

And it's cold against her hand

The night's too long

It just drags on and on

And then there's never enough

That's when the sun starts comin' up

Don't let go of her hand

You just might be the right man

She loves the night She loves the night

She doesn't want the night

Don't want it to end

Don't want it to end

Don't want it to end
