Gil Scott-Heron - Late Last Night lyrics

Music runnin' up and down and sideways in my head I knew I couldn't stay up all night, still I could not go to bed I tore up half my room lookin' for paper and a pen But quick as the words occured to me, they disappeared again I know I'm sounding crazy, but I swear that I'm all right Cause it happened sometime early this morning Or was that sometime late last night? I'm going home Been out on the road one day too long Yeah, I'm going home Seem like I've been out on the road one day too long Beautiful music is blaring in the corners of my mind I knew I couldn't go crazy because I do not have the time But what do you do at no o'clock when there ain't no axe to play, But break in to the hotel lounge before the melody gets away? And that's what I told the security guard before we started to fight Now it happened sometime early this morning Or was that sometime late last night? I'm going home Been out on the road one day too long Plain to see is when on me going home Been out on the road one day too long Poem's been arranged as it stereoed inside my mind I slipped the guard a twenty, me and him was doing fine But I still couldn't get to sleep at all when I got back to my room Cause in all the confusion and everything I forgot the words to my tune Had myself a sure-go-red, everybody got uptight Now it happened sometime early this morning Or was that sometime late last night? I'm going home Been out on the road one day too long Easy to see is when on me going home Been out on the road one day too long Rubber line was a friend of mine, going home Been out on the road one day too long Yes, I'm going home Been out on the road one day too long Hard to get back, but I'm going home Been out on the road one day too long Yes, going home Been out on the road one day too long Take a plane, ride a train, home Been out on the road one day too long
