[Verse 1]
Midnight flights and barroom lights
And roarin' 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

[Verse 2]
And LA games and Denver trains
And taxis through the New York rain
On everybody's party but my own
Tellin' myself that love could wait
Now maybe the girl you've come too late
I may have spent too many nights alone

[Verse 3]
I never let nobody any closer than my body
But 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

[Verse 4]
'Cause midnight flights and barroom lights
And roarln' for three days and nights
And open roads have been my only home
Learnin' ways to say goodbye
And songs that only made me cry
I guess I spent too many nights alone
