Nanci Griffith - Fly By Night lyrics

Oh, it's 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 stonger 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'
