The Road You're On

a pair of headlights shinin' high on the horizon
will they come to pick you up or will they try to run you over
you're so alone and so afraid the sun might never rise again
so many hours left to travel down the gravel of

[chorus]
the road you're on gets darker every night
a new moon your only street light
the next step your only friend
the stars above you used to shine so bright
but your vision is your weakness
and they'll vanish in the end

eleven o'clock skin your knee on the rocks
it'll bleed through the only pair of jeans you ever wear
it's not money you need but some thing to believe in
some reason to be and somebody to care that

[chorus]

end over end will you tumble and bend
to the rules of the road you're walking upon

[chorus]
