Night's Too Long Lyrics

Artist: Patty Loveless
Album: On Down The Line

Sylvia was working 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 they 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 needin' these silly dresses and nylon hose
Cause when I get to where I'm going 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

Well she works in an office now and she guesses the pay's alright
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 a crowd
Where she can dance and toss her head back and laugh out loud
Well the music's playing 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...
Don't want it to end don't want it to end
