Fly By Night Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

Oh, its just another summer mornin', Baby, somewhere in this town 

The heat is rising 

Oh, I know where you spent last night so you can stop apologizing 

You say that you've been out just lookin' around this town 

I don't wanna know just exactly what you've found 

Because tonight I'm goin' out on these streets and watch the lonely hearts 

Go flyin' 

Don't they fly by night 

Yeah tonight I'm goin' out on these streets and watch the lonely hearts 

Go flyin' 

I'll be standin' on the corner watchin' the men folk go by 

I don't wanna touch 'em honey, I'll look them in the eye 

And say, Tonight I am out on these streets to watch the lonely hearts 

Go flyin 

Oh, I never put a chain upon your heart or tried to make you walk the 

Line for me 

Only a fool would want a heart that needs a chain to keep it restin' 

Here beside of me 

You say you wished I cared what you did with your time 

But what's your time is yours and tonight is gonna be mine 

And I'm goin' out on these streets tonight 

To watch the lonely hearts go flyin' 

Don't they fly by night 

I'm going out on these streets tonight 

To watch the lonely hearts go flyin' 

I'm comin' out of your pocket and into my own 

I'm gonna have a stonger heart when I round the bend for home 

Now I'm goin' out on these streets tonight 

To watch the lonely hearts go flyin' 

Don't they fly by night 

I'm going out on these streets tonight 

To watch the lonely hearts go flyin' 

Oh, they fly by night 

I'm going out on these streets tonight to watch the lonely hearts go flyin'
