♪ 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 ♪
