Standing in darkness
With empty hands
I still know how to use them but the miles made other plans
Running out of highway
Shorter on time
Feel the dead weight deepen and the devil coming down the line
The dashboard's shaking
I steady the wheel
And I make every turn by memory, by feel
Towards a black horizon
An unbroken dawn
Will this endless stretch of desert road get me back where I belong
Will you turn the bright lights on
Baby turn the bright lights on
Cuz I haven't forgotten where it is I'm from
Look out your window for me, here I come
Will you turn the bright lights on
Baby turn the bright lights on
Put me back on the corner and I'll sing my song
I'm a shoo-in tonight, turn the bright lights on
I carry my own weight
And then some too
There are things I would change but it ain't worth going through
Maybe I'm tapped out
Or just plain old tired
Tonight the charge is rewrote
But I'm still hardwired
Will you turn the bright lights on
Baby turn the bright lights on
Cuz I haven't forgotten where it is I'm from
Look out your window for me here I come
Will you turn the bright lights on
Baby turn the bright lights on
Put me back on the corner and I'll sing my song
I'm a shoo-in tonight, turn the bright lights on
We turn the bright lights on
We turn the bright lights on
We turn the bright lights on
We turn the bright lights on
We turn the bright lights on
We turn the bright lights on
We turn the bright lights on
We turn the bright lights on
We turn the bright lights on
We turn, we turn, we turn the bright lights on
We turn, we turn the bright
You know I think it's gonna be alright
You know I think it's gonna be alright
You know I think it's gonna be alright
You know I think it's gonna be alright
Tonight, tonight, tonight yeah
You know I think it's gonna be alright
You know I think it's gonna be alright
Just hang back and let me sing my song
Turn the bright lights on
Turn the bright lights on
Turn the bright lights on
