  The Night's Too Long

  Lucinda Williams

  Recorded by Patty Lovelace

  

  

  D              G

  Sylvia was workin' as a waitress in Beaumont

        D                A

  She said I'm movin' away, I'm gonna get what I want

     D           G

  I'm tired of these small-town boys that don't move fast enough

     D                    A

  I'm gonna find me one who wears a leather jacket and likes his livin' 

  rough

     D              G

  So she saved her tips and overtime and bought an old rusty car

     D                    A

  She sold most everything she had to make a brand new start

     D                    G

  She said I won't be needing these silly dresses and nylon hose

     D                    A

  Cause when I get to where I'm goin' I'm gonna buy me all new clothes

  

  CHORUS:

           G        D

  The night's too long; It just drags on and on

           A                 D

  And then there's never enough; That's when the sun starts comin' up

           G        A  D

  Don't let go of her hand; You just might be the right man

     G  A     G  A

  She loves the night; She loves the night

     G     A        D

  She doesn't want the night; don't want it to end

  G     D

  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

  

  CHORUS
