Too Many Nights Too Long Lyrics

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 belongI'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 longAnd now I wonder if
They'll find me tonight
I've been sleepin' in the day
Runnin' below the pale moonlightHidin' 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 longEscondido 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
