Burning The Midnight Oil Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

Here we sit lookin' at each other seems we're at a loss for what to say 

Ties bind us both with someone else we don't want to hurt but we must break 

And tonight I'll sit home a thinkin' and tonight I'll sit home a drinkin' 

We both live in seperate homes where there's no love at all 

Stayin' up late burning the midnight oil 

[ fiddle - el.banjo ] 

Tomorrow we'll meet here in the same place where love and desires just won't wait 

In each other's arms we'll dream for a little while 

Then when it's time to leave it'll nearly drive us wild 

And tonight again I'll sit home a thinkin'... 

Stayin' up late burning the midnight oil
