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

[02:26.52]And now I wonder if

[02:28.68]They'll find me tonight

[02:31.15]I've been sleepin' in the day

[02:34.18]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

Y 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
