Narrative:
Late night; after 14-15 hours; a missed approach to [destination] for no lighted runway returned to [departure airport] and were told we were to continue; refuel; and return to [destination] as they would have lights on. On line up I was apparently distracted as left brake dragged and lined up way right of center. I powered up and drifted right more into grass and aborted takeoff before 80 knots and re-centered on the runway. Returned to hangar; no injury or damage was noted; but dirt was on the main gear.[after the hours I had] flown [I] should have told [company] to cancel all flights as I said I was very tired. [There were] numerous calls from the company to get fuel and go let alone explain why I had to file new flight plans; add fuel; negotiate with customs to accept us at near midnight on our return flight. [This is] pilot pushing at the least. Both pilots should have caught it; but I am the pilot in command.
