Bobby Bare - Too Many Nights Alone lyrics

rate me

Midnight flights and barroom lights and rollin' for three days and nights

And motel rooms have been my only home

They gave me these sad knowing eyes and old age lines before my time

I guess I spent too many nights alone

Denver trains and LA games taxis through the New York rain

On everybody's party but my own

Tellin' myself love could wait now maybe girl you've come too late

I may have spent too many nights alone

I never let nobody any closer than my body and I never needed someone till now

And you know I want so much to reach out my soul and touch you

But I don't know if I know how

Cause midnight flights and barroom lights and rollin' for three days and nights

And open roads have been my only home

Learnin' ways to say goodbye and songs that only make me cry

I guess I spent too many nights alone too many nights alone
