Porter Wagoner - Burning The Midnight Oil lyrics

rate me

Here we sit lookin' at each other seems we're at a loss for what to say

Ties bind us both with someone else we don't want to hurt but we must break

And tonight I'll sit home a thinkin' and tonight I'll sit home a drinkin'

We both live in seperate homes where there's no love at all

Stayin' up late burning the midnight oil

[ fiddle - el.banjo ]

Tomorrow we'll meet here in the same place where love and desires just won't wait

In each other's arms we'll dream for a little while

Then when it's time to leave it'll nearly drive us wild

And tonight again I'll sit home a thinkin'...

Stayin' up late burning the midnight oil
