Too Many Nights Alone Lyrics - Bobby Bare

Midnight flights and barroom lights and rollin' for three days and nights 

And motel rooms have been my only home 

They gave me these sad knowing eyes and old age lines before my time 

I guess I spent too many nights alone 

Denver trains and LA games taxis through the New York rain 

On everybody's party but my own 

Tellin' myself love could wait now maybe girl you've come too late 

I may have spent too many nights alone 

I never let nobody any closer than my body and I never needed someone till now 

And you know I want so much to reach out my soul and touch you 

But I don't know if I know how 

Cause midnight flights and barroom lights and rollin' for three days and nights 

And open roads have been my only home 

Learnin' ways to say goodbye and songs that only make me cry 

I guess I spent too many nights alone too many nights alone
