Sunday's Junior Brown Lyrics

Junior told an interviewer in the Washington Post, the link to which article is currently unavailable, that this is the first song he ever wrote. "Too Many Nights" really rocks. When he plays this one in concert, you can feel the energy in the crowd really surge.

Too Many Nights In A Roadhouse

12 SHADES OF BROWN Track 5

Too many nights in a roadhouse
Too much wine, women, and 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 am down to my last two bucks.
I’m pushin’ way too hard
Tryin’ to live way 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.
