The Nights Too Long

You might want to play this with the chord forms using a capo in the 2nd fret for the open tones. Silvia 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 over time 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 nights 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 pays alright She can a 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 playing fast, and they just met He presses up against her and his shirts 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 nights 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
