Silvia was working as a waitress in Beaumont
A E
She said I'm moving away I'm gonna get what I want
A D
I'm tired of these small town boys, they don't move fast enough
A E A
I'm gonna find me one who wears a leather jacket and likes his living rough
A D
So she saved her tips and over time and bought an old rusty car
A E
She sold most everything she had to make a brand new start
A D
She said I won't be needing these silly dresses and nylon hose
A E A
Cause when I get to where I'm going, I'm gonna buy me all new clothes
A D A
The nights too long, it just drags on and on
E
And then there's never enough
A
That's when the sun starts coming up
D E A D
Don't let go of her hand, you just might be the right man
E D E D
She loves the night, she loves the night
E D
She doesn't want the night
A
Don't want it to end
D A
Don't want it to end
A D
Well she works in an office now, and she guesses the pays alright
A E
She can a buy a few new things to wear, and still go out at night
A D
and as soon as she gets home from work, she wants to be out with the crowd
A E A
Where she can dance and toss her head back and laugh out loud
A D
Well the music playing fast, and they just met
A E
He presses up against her and his shirts all soaked with sweat
A D
And with her back against the bar, she can listen to the band
A E A
And she's holding a Corona and it's cold against her hand
A D A
The nights too long, it just drags on and on
E
And then there's never enough
A
That's when the sun starts coming up
D E A D
Don't let go of her hand, you just might be the right man
E D E D
She loves the night, she loves the night
E D
She doesn't want the night
A
Don't want it to end
D A
Don't want it to end
D A
Don't want it to end
