Ninth Cloud

Look at me, so damaged and destroyed With this world's plans and its ploys to take me out I'm on a highway directly to the moon With no plans on stoppin' soon, I'm leavin' town Them Christian's are talkin' so often of coffins No heavens could top this moment now My foot out the window and my flask halfway full I may have to pull over soon I can't afford a motel, but the floorboards'll work well I'll sleep there 'til tomorrow afternoon Then I'll get on the road again, had another chance at fittin' in But fittin' in to kids like me is dyin' But I know when I'm with you, after one shot or 22 And a cigarette, I feel like I'm flyin' Them Christian's are talkin' so often of coffins No Heavens could top this moment now I've searched and I've found to get to that ninth cloud You must trek through some dark and troubled grounds So may we all just once or twice Once in this life, just look around Usually I'm a wreck, but the hard times were just a step To get where I am on this ninth cloud We're screamin', feelin' good again Just passed 3:04 a.m. I'm talkin' like the sun will never rise But the sun will crest the trees and bring this devil to his knees As it outlines the silver in these skies Them Christian's are talkin' so often of coffins No heavens could top this moment now I've searched and I've found to get to that ninth cloud You must trek through some dark and troubled grounds So may we all, just once or twice Once in this life, just look around 'Cause usually I'm a wreck, but the hard times were just a step To get where I am on this ninth cloud Look at me, so damaged and destroyed With this world's plans and its ploys to take me out I'm on a highway directly to the moon With no plans on stoppin' soon, I'm leavin' town
