Headlights

Hey darling

I've been calling

But you won't answer me

Hey baby

I thought maybe

We could go back to the way it used to be

You got me staggering down the side

Of Highway 95

A bottle in a bag clinking through my strides

This letter in my hand

The one that I forgot to send

The halogen cuts through the fog ahead

And the headlights

Are so bright

That I might

Go blind

And lose my direction home

Hey pretty

My self pity

This deep ravine between us carved by me

And honey

All this money

Ain't worth half as much as your tranquility

I'm stumbling down the street

Shoes wearing off my feet

Bottle bag is lighter now but my heart's just as heavy

Crossing through the road

On this fog I'm overdosed

I turn and see St Peter's shining towards me

And the headlights

Are so bright

That I might

Go blind

And lose my direction home

I can't get home

No I can't get home

No, no, no

I never saw the sign

I never walked the line

I can't say I ever knew enough

To make sure you stayed mine

I'm reaching out

For your face

Your beauty and your grace

The only thing to save me now

That's the only thing

I know

The headlights

Are so bright

That I might

Go blind

And lose my direction home

The headlights

Are so bright

Tonight I might go blind

And never make it home
