Life's too short for nights this long
That clock on the wall ain't moved an inch
Since you've been gone, swear that it don't tick
I'm tired of sittin' here, countin' ceiling fan spins
Tired of reruns on TV
If I ain't gonna sleep
Why the hell lay down?
If I'm gonna be up
Might as well be out
'Cause life's too short for nights this long
And the bar's too close to just stay home
The beer's too cheap not to buy a bucket
There's too much to do to not do nothin'
Got too many friends waitin' there on me
Too many fishes in the neon sea
Yeah, it's too bad that you're too gone
But life's too short for nights this long
Nights this long
I could pace this floor a thousand more times
Climb that wall, yeah, I could try
What I've been tryin' since you left
But it ain't workin' yet
Why let this thing drag on?
'Cause life's too short for nights this long
And the bar's too close to just stay home
The beer's too cheap not to buy a bucket
There's too much to do to not do nothin'
Got too many friends waitin' there on me
Too many fishes in the neon sea
Yeah, it's too bad that you're too gone
But life's too short for nights this long
Nights this long
If I ain't gonna sleep
Why the hell lay down?
If I'm gonna be up
Might as well be out
'Cause life's too short for nights this long
And the bar's too close to just stay home
The beer's too cheap not to buy a bucket
There's too much to do to not do nothin'
Got too many friends waitin' there on me
Too many fishes in the neon sea
Yeah, it's too bad that you're too gone
But life's too short for nights this long
Nights this long
