(Lucinda Williams)
2
Sylvia was workin' as a waitress in Beaumont
3
She said I'm movin' away, I'm gonna get what I want
4
I'm tired of these small-town boys that don't move fast enough
5
I'm gonna find me one who wears a leather jacket and likes his livin' rough
6
So she saved her tips and overtime and bought an old rusty car
7
She sold most everything she had to make a brand new start
8
She said I won't be needing these silly dresses and nylon hose
9
'Cause when I get to where I'm goin' I'm gonna buy me all new clothes
10
The night's too long; It just drags on and on
11
And then there's never enough;
12
That's when the sun starts comin' up
13
Don't let go of her hand;
14
You just might be the right man
15
She loves the night; She loves the night
16
She doesn't want the night; don't want it to end
17
Don't want it to end.
18
She works in an office now and she guesses the pays all right
19
She can buy a few new things to wear and still go out at night
20
And as soon as she gets home from work she wants to be out with the crowd
21
Where she can dance and toss her hair back and laugh out loud
22
Well the music's playin' fast and they just met
23
He presses up against her and his shirt's all soaked with sweat
24
And with her back against the bar she can listen to the band
25
And she's holdin' a Corona and it's cold against her hand
26
The night's too long; It just drags on and on
27
And then there's never enough;
28
That's when the sun starts comin' up
29
Don't let go of her hand;
30
You just might be the right man
31
She loves the night; She loves the night
32
She doesn't want the night; don't want it to end
33
Don't want it to end.
