Where the Night Goes

Heard the word from Brenda Lee You were coming home she said Cross my heart I could not believe it Holy hell you could have struck me dead (but) Three cheers for the grapevine (what) Told me you were coming home Let's see where the night takes us Let's see where the night goes I admit it's been slow going You pay your bills and still they own yo You know the way with best laid plans Til this is me and that's who I am (now) I make the rounds and pay my dues Meet up with friends and I dream about you It isn't much but it's still a lot Sometimes honey I still get lost In those long nights, old cars Backroads and the boneyards You dropped the pedal like a holy roller Sheriff of hell couldn't pull you over Tough girl from the bad town Brought up not to stay down Sweet tea, white lightning Breaking hearts and not minding Come on in it's so good to see ya It's been so long I know I know I... Let's see where the night takes us Let's see where the night goes... Last I saw you was a'greyhound waiting You said don't be sad and don't be blue LA is not the destination Still I believe that I must pass through I saw your face from a time to time Now you're coming home Let's see where the night takes us Let's see where the night goes... [?] I only know the way I'm feelin' Only the living go to the graveyard grieving Still we're alive and you're astounding Feel the pulse of the world pounding Feel the pull of the American diverse The mountains the rivers, the fields at harvest It's all we have and that's a lot Come on honey let's get lost In the long nights, old cars Backroads and the boneyards You dropped the pedal like a holy roller Sheriff of hell couldn't pull you over Tough girl from the bad town Brought up not to stay down Sweet tea, white lightning Breaking hearts and not minding Come on in it's so good to see ya It's been so long I know I know I... Let's see where the night takes us Let's see where the night goes... In the long nights, old cars Backroads and the boneyards You dropped the pedal like a holy roller Sheriff of hell couldn't pull you over Tough girl from the bad town Brought up not to stay down Sweet tea, white lightning Breaking hearts and not minding Come on in it's so good to see ya It's been so long I know I know I... Let's see where the night takes us Let's see where the night goes... A long night, The old car The backroads And the boneyards
