SYLVIA WAS WORKIN'
AS A WAITRESS
IN BEAUMONT
SHE SAID
I'M MOVIN' AWAY
I'M GONNA GET
WHAT I WANT
I'M TIRED OF THESE
SMALL TOWN BOYS
THEY DON'T MOVE
FAST ENOUGH
I'M GONNA FIND ME
ONE WHO WEARS
A LEATHER JACKET AND
LIKES HIS LIVING ROUGH
SO SHE SAVED HER
TIPS AND OVERTIME
AND BOUGHT AN
OLD RUSTY CAR
SHE SOLD MOST
EVERYTHING SHE HAD
TO MAKE A
BRAND NEW START
SHE SAID I WON'T
BE NEEDING THESE
SILLY DRESSES AND
NYLON HOSE
'CAUSE WHEN I GET
TO WHERE I'M GOIN'
I'M GONNA BUY ME
ALL NEW CLOTHES
THE NIGHT'S TOO LONG
IT JUST DRAGS ON AND ON
AND THEN THERE'S
NEVER ENOUGH
THAT'S WHEN THE
SUN STARTS COMING UP
DON'T LET GO
OF HER HAND
YOU JUST MIGHT
BE THE RIGHT MAN
SHE LOVES THE NIGHT
SHE LOVES THE NIGHT
SHE DOESN'T
WANT THE NIGHT
DON'T WANT IT TO END
DON'T WANT IT TO END
WELL SHE WORKS IN
AN OFFICE NOW
AND SHE GUESSES
THE PAY'S ALRIGHT
SHE CAN BUY A
FEW NEW THINGS TO WEAR
AND STILL GO OUT AT NIGHT
AND AS SOON AS SHE
GETS HOME FROM WORK
SHE WANTS TO BE OUT
WITH THE CROWD
WHERE SHE CAN DANCE
AND TOSS HER HEAD BACK
AND LAUGH OUT LOUD
WELL THE MUSIC'S
PLAYING FAST
AND THEY JUST MET
HE PRESSES UP
AGAINST HER AND
HIS SHIRT'S ALL SOAKED
WITH SWEAT
AND WITH HER BACK
AGAINST THE BAR
SHE CAN LISTEN
TO THE BAND
AND SHE'S HOLDIN'
A CORONA
AND IT'S COLD
AGAINST HER HAND
THE NIGHT'S TOO LONG
IT JUST DRAGS ON AND ON
AND THEN THERE'S
NEVER ENOUGH
THAT'S WHEN THE
SUN STARTS COMING UP
DON'T LET GO
OF HER HAND
YOU JUST MIGHT
BE THE RIGHT MAN
SHE LOVES THE NIGHT
SHE LOVES THE NIGHT
SHE DOESN'T
WANT THE NIGHT
DON'T WANT IT TO END
DON'T WANT IT TO END
DON'T WANT IT TO END
