Poco - Too Many Nights Too Long lyrics

1c

As the moon goes fading

1a

He lies awake waiting

1d

For a break in the night

25

When he makes he's lonely flight

20

And it's the same old story

1d

Somebody bound for glory

1d

And somewhere in my life

1d

I swear it had to belong

5

21

I've been countin' the stars

25

As they come on through the bars

20

And i've been heard singin'

15

A sad man's song

1a

It's time for busting

15

Out of this jail

15

And get me a gun

15

No time for bail

30

And i've been here too many nights too long

5

18

And now i wonder if

1c

They'll find me tonight

22

I've been sleepin' in the day

25

Runnin' below the pale moonlight

5

1a

Hidin' in a canebrake

25

From a man i can't seem to shake

13

And in my head

20

I'm hearing a southern song

11

Mississippi,

18

Roll on in my brain

1a

And keep me sheltered

17

In the summer rain

35

I could never stay here too many nights too long

5

18

And now i wonder if

1c

They'll find me tonight

22

I've been sleepin' in the day

25

Runnin' below the pale moonlight

5

1e

Escondido en un canaveral

22

De un hombre que no puedo ver

1b

Y el hombre, escondido

12

De donde sera

11

Mississippi,

18

Roll on in my brain

1a

And keep me sheltered

17

In the summer rain

35

I could never stay here too many nights too long

35

I could never stay here too many nights too long
