Burning the Midnight Oil - Porter Wagoner/Dolly Parton

Here we sit lookin' at each other

Seems we're at a loss for what to say

Ties bind us both with someone else

We don't want to hurt but we must break away

And tonight I'll sit home a thinking

And tonight I'll sit home a drinking

We both live in seperate homes where there's no love at all

Stayin' up late burning the midnight oil

Tomorrow we'll meet here in the same place

Where love and desires just won't wait

In each other's arms we'll dream for a little while

Then when it's time to leave it'll nearly drive us wild

And tonight again I'll sit home a thinking

Stayin' up late burning the midnight oil
