Fly By Night - Nanci Griffith

Oh, its just another summer mornin', Baby, somewhere in this town

The heat is rising

Oh, I know where you spent last night so you can stop apologizing

You say that you’ve been out… just lookin' around this town

I don’t wanna know just exactly what you’ve found

Because tonight I’m goin' out on these streets and watch the lonely hearts

Go flyin'

Don’t they fly by night

Yeah tonight I’m goin' out on these streets and watch the lonely hearts

Go flyin'

I’ll be standin' on the corner watchin' the men folk go by

I don’t wanna touch 'em honey, I’ll look them in the eye

And say, «Tonight I am out on these streets to watch the lonely hearts

Go flyin»

Oh, I never put a chain upon your heart or tried to make you walk the

Line for me Only a fool would want a heart that needs a chain to keep it restin'

Here beside of me You say you wished I cared what you did with your time

But what’s your time is yours and tonight is gonna be mine

And I’m goin' out on these streets tonight

To watch the lonely hearts go flyin'

Don’t they fly by night

I’m going out on these streets tonight

To watch the lonely hearts go flyin'

I’m comin' out of your pocket and into my own

I’m gonna have a stronger heart when I round the bend for home

Now I’m goin' out on these streets tonight

To watch the lonely hearts go flyin'

Don’t they fly by night

I’m going out on these streets tonight

To watch the lonely hearts go flyin'

I’ll be standin' on the corner watchin' the men folk go by

I don’t wanna touch 'em honey, I’ll look them in the eye

And say, «Tonight I am out on these streets to watch the lonely hearts

Go flyin»

Oh, they fly by night

I’m going out on these streets tonight to watch the lonely hearts go flyin'
