Patty Loveless : The night's too long

From : On down the line

Also sung by Lucinda Williams

[A]

Sylvia was working

[D]

As a waitress in Beaumont

[A]

She said I'm moving away

[E]

I'm gonna get what I want

[A]

I'm tired of these small town boys

[D]

they don't move fast enough

[A]

I'm gonna find me one who wears a leather jacket

[E] [A]

And likes his living rough.

[A]

So she saved her tips and overtime

[D]

And bought an old rusty car.

[A]

She sold most evereything she had

[E]

To make a brand new start.

[A]

She said I won't be needing these

[D]

Silly dresses and nylon hose

[A]

'Cause when I get to where I'm goin'

[E] [A]

I'm gonna buy me all new clothes.

[A7] [D]

Chorus: The night's too long

[A]

It just drags on and on

[E]

And then there's never enough

[A]

That's when the sun starts coming up

[A7] [D]

Don't let go of her hand

[A] [D]

You just might be the right man

[E] [D] [E] [D]

She loves the night, she loves the night

[A]

Doesn't want it to end.

[A]

Well she works in an office now

[D] [A]

And she guesses the pay's allright

[A]

She can buy a few new things to wear

[E]

And still go out at night

[A]

And as soon as she gets home from work

[D]

She wants to be out with the crowd

[A]

Where she can dance and toss her head back

[E] [A]

And lough out loud.

[A]

Now the music's playing fast

[D]

And they just met

[A]

He presses up against her

[E]

And his shirt's all soaked with sweat

[A]

And with her back against the bar

[D]

She can listen to the band

[A]

And she's holding a Corona

[E] [A]

And it's cold against her hand.

Chorus: ....
