Pull the Moon

Sundown burns out a long day

Played it by the book it won’t swing your way

Wonder when it’s gonna get to the good part

Rolled your pennies paid your dues

Put your hard earned trust in fools

Night falls hard and heavy on an empty heart

Let it roll Let it ride

Let your sweet heart open wide

They’ll pull the moon out of the sky

Dam the river and drink it dry

You’re down to one headlight 

Running headlong into the long night

Hear it come in loud and clear

Hold it high for many years 

Til a bad hand trades you broken glass for your guitar

Now you catalog your sweat and tears

What got you there won’t get you here

The miles are hard and heavy in an empty car 

Let it roll Let it ride

Let your sweet heart open wide

While they pull the moon out of the sky

Dam the river and drink it dry

You’re down to one headlight 

Running headlong into the long night

Ride the river roads the blue highways

The heartland’s arteries and veins

To the darkest night pulsing with every star

Watch her light a quiet flame

She poured it out when no one came

Words fall hard and heavy in an empty bar

Let it roll Let it ride

Let your sweet heart open wide

They pulled the moon out of the sky

Dammed the river and drank it dry

You’re down to one headlight 

Running headlong into the long night

Running headlong into the long night

Running headlong into the long night
