Runnin' Toward the Light |
I used to hate all my dad’s outlaw country bands |
He’d play me when I was young |
'Cause they’d lie through their teeth about the lives they lead |
When all I wanted were honest songs |
But now they’re anthems in the van |
And we’re screaming them out on the highway |
For good luck |
In the bright blistering sun |
Runnin' toward the light |
On the shoulder of a dream |
I’m singing in my sleep |
Runnin' toward the light |
I stagger through the streets |
I sing it in my sleep |
Cream fights through truck-stop coffee here in the quiet purple dawn |
Last night we played another highway bar, for the first time they sang along |
Spray paint a '20' up on the over pass |
Like a blood pact for the drifters we’ve become |
In the soft burgeoning sun |
Runnin' toward the light |
On the shoulder of a dream |
I’m singing in my sleep |
Runnin' toward the light |
I stagger through the streets |
I sing it in my sleep |
This is for Rosa, and Catherine |
And Mom and Dad |
And this is for Robert, and Jesse |
And the Thunderbird staff |
I’m gonna make you proud of me |
I’m gonna make you proud of me |
I’m gonna make you proud of me |
Runnin' toward the light |
On the shoulder of a dream |
I’m singing in my sleep |
Runnin' toward the light |
I stagger through the streets |
I sing it in my sleep |
