Lyrics The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Wild Nights

She's fast asleep on the sofa

There's nothing but snow on TV

I'm bleary-eyed and not much to show for

Another night on the town acting free.

Lord knows I've seen this old movie

Too many times before

But whenever those demons get to me

It's not long ‘til I've slipped out the door.

Wild nights, it's no kind of life

Am I out here searching for me?

Wild nights, it just don't seem right

Am I lost, hey, well that just can't be?

Not me.

It's a bottle and a dimly lit bar room

And I'm beginning to have me a time

If I find myself just a bit lonely

Well, the ladies ‘round here are so kind.

Towards the latter part of the evening

I was wearing my guilt on my sleeve

And when I heard last call, it was this boys downfall

’Cause by then it was too late to leave.

Wild nights, it's no kind of life

Am I out here searching for me?

Oh, wild nights, it just don't seem right

Am I lost, hey, well that just can't be?

But a blind man sees better than me.

Wild nights

Wild nights

Wild nights.
