The Night's Too Long Lyrics - Lucinda Williams - Lucinda Williams

Sylvia was working as a waitress in Beaumont 

She said "I'm moving away, I'm gonna get what I want 

I'm tired of these small town boys, they don't move fast enough 

I'm gonna find me one who wears a leather jacket and likes his living rough" 

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

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

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

'Cause when I get to where I'm going, I'm gonna buy me all new clothes" 

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

And then there's never enough that's when the sun starts coming up 

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

She loves the night; she loves the night

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

Don't want it to end 

Well she works in an office now, and she guesses the pay's 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 head back and laugh out loud 

Well, the music's playing faster 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 holding a Corona and it's cold against her hand 

The night's too long 

It just drags on and on 

And then there's never enough 

That's when the sun starts coming up 

Don't let go of her hand 

You just might be the right man

She loves the night 

She loves the night 

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

Don't want it to end 

Don't want it to end
