♪ Rusty barbed wire lines these fields ♪

♪ Gravel dust behind the wheels ♪

♪ Drifting like my mind into the rear view ♪

♪ Jet trails cutting cross the sky ♪

♪ I'm rolling through the open wide ♪

♪ Searching for a song to drink a beer to ♪

♪ And trying to find a place to disappear to ♪

♪ I light up the night and let it burn ♪

♪ Lean back and watch the sundown fade ♪

♪ Do what I do and life's a little sideways ♪

♪ I take a sip and say a prayer ♪

♪ Wait for the shooting star and stare ♪

♪ Off at the headlights on the highway ♪

♪ That guy in the windshield looking back ♪

♪ Looks just like me but there's a crack in the reflection ♪

♪ This is just a moonlight soaked, rain and smoke ♪

♪ Right hand on a cold one Confession ♪

♪ Embers in the ashtray glow ♪

♪ Like memories that won't let go ♪

♪ I'm out here trying to get untangled ♪

♪ In the darkness on the edge of town ♪

♪ A little lost, a little found ♪

♪ Waiting on a call from an angel ♪

♪ I light up the night and let it burn ♪

♪ Lean back and watch the sundown fade ♪

♪ Do what I do and life's a little sideways ♪

♪ I take a sip and say a prayer ♪

♪ Wait for the shooting star and stare ♪

♪ Off at the headlights on the highway ♪

♪ That guy in the windshield looking back ♪

♪ Looks just like me but there's a crack in the reflection ♪

♪ This is just a moonlight soaked, rain and smoke ♪

♪ Right hand on a cold one Confession ♪

♪ Light up the night and let it burn ♪

♪ Lean back and watch the sundown fade ♪

♪ Do what I do and life's a little sideways ♪

♪ I take a sip and say a prayer ♪

♪ Wait for the shooting star and stare ♪

♪ Off at the headlights on the highway ♪

♪ That guy in the windshield looking back ♪

♪ Looks just like me but there's a crack in the reflection ♪

♪ Hope he's moving in the right direction ♪

♪ This is just a moonlight soaked, rain and smoke ♪

♪ Right hand on a cold one Confession ♪
