Too Many Nights in a Roadhouse
written & performed by Junior Brown
from the album "12 Shades of Brown" (1993 Curb Records)

Too many nights in a roadhouse
Too much wine, women & song
Too many days on the highway
Then I run around all night long

I take a good look in the mirror
In the cold grey light of dawn
Too many nights in a roadhouse
Has run a little good boy wrong

Runnin' with my buddies on the wild side
Caused me a run of bad luck
Out all night with the roadhouse crowd
Then I'm down to my last two bucks

I'm pushin' way too hard
Tryin' to live too fast
Puttin' too many wrinkles on
Too many nights in a roadhouse
Has run a little good boy wrong

It's some kinda life I was livin'
And it wasn't too hard to tell
That the blues come around
When the sun went down
And my days didn't fare too well
I sure did want a taste of the good life
Till the good times come along

Too many nights in a roadhouse
Has run a little good boy wrong
