Too Many Nights Too Long
As the moon goes fading
He lies awake waiting
For a break in the night
When he makes, he's lonely flight
And it's the same old story
Somebody bound for glory
And somewhere in my life
I swear it had to belong
I've been countin' the stars
As they come on through the bars
And I've been heard singing
A sad man's song
It's time for busting out of this jail
Get me a gun
No time for bail
'Cause I've been here too many nights too long
And now I wonder if
They'll find me tonight
I've been sleepin' in the day
Runnin' below the pale moonlight
Hidin' in a canebrake
From a man I can't seem to shake
And in my head
I'm hearing a southern song
Mississippi roll on in my brain
Keep me sheltered
In the summer rain
'Cause I could never stay here too many nights too long
Escondido en un canaveral
De un hombre que no puedo ver
Why el hombre, escondido
De donde sera
Mississippi roll on in my brain
Keep me sheltered
In the summer rain
I could never stay here too many nights too long
I could never stay here too many nights too long
