Too Many Nights Alone

Midnight flights and barroom lights and rollin' for three days and nights And motel rooms have been my only home They gave me these sad knowing eyes and old age lines before my time I guess I spent too many nights alone Denver trains and LA games taxis through the New York rain On everybody's party but my own Tellin' myself love could wait now maybe girl you've come too late I may have spent too many nights alone I never let nobody any closer than my body and I never needed someone till now And you know I want so much to reach out my soul and touch you But I don't know if I know how Cause midnight flights and barroom lights and rollin' for three days and nights And open roads have been my only home Learnin' ways to say goodbye and songs that only make me cry I guess I spent too many nights alone too many nights alone --- Too Many Nights Alone - Bobby Bare
