Cry Night After Night Lyrics - Singles - Earle Stacey

(Mark Stuart, Stacey Earle) 

I almost hate to go back home 

Somebody's died every time I've been gone 

I ain't saying I don't want to know 

Just that it brings me down so low 

I was needing more out of life 

I forgot how to be your wife 

Everybody's settlin' for settlin' down 

Hear the jingle of the chains rattling around 

I never really gave much thought 

I m sure its my own fault 

I just figured after years gone by 

All them tears would have run dry 

I go out night after night 

And I wonder if I'm treating myself right 

And I think about the ones I left behind 

When I cry night after night 

Here's to the ones who worked all along 

Living in fear of being alone 

Well I started out early in life 

I made mine and I knew I 

Could never really go back home 

That's the same as being alone 

Sure, I could always turn it around 

That'd be the same as shooting me down
