The days are short and the nights are long
I've been hoping to find you before I'm gone and I
Never knew two decades back
That I'd be living here by the railroad tracks and I
Never thought I'd be redeemed
And I never thought I'd chase these crazy dreams
But I might be crazy enough
To give it all I've got
I never thought I could be so free
From the darkness that had its sights on me and I'm
Sick of all those smoke filled nights
With the cocaine and the bottle just to feel alright and now
I feel alright
Now that i've survived
I finally feel alive
I was blind but now I see
Death has lost its grip on me
I hear the highway calling my name
I need it badly like the southern rain
From California New Mexico
To the Nashville Skylines that led me home and home
Is why I headed east
To settle down on this quiet street
Cause home is when I'm with you
And home is where I'll find you
