LIGHTS ARE
SHINING BRIGHT
IT'S ALWAYS
DOWNTOWN
ON THE ROAD
I HAVE FRIENDS
THAT COME FROM
OUTTA TOWN
ASKING ME TO GO
THEY SAY THERE'S
SO MUCH GOING ON
WHY DON'T YOU
COME ALONG
AND SHOW US AROUND
I TELL THEM KAREN'S
NOT FEELING WELL
SO I PROBABLY
SHOULDN'T GO OUT
BESIDES I'VE
GOTTA FIX
A LIST OF THINGS
I NEED TO DO
AROUND THE HOUSE
THEN I HANG UP
THE PHONE
TURN THE RADIO
BACK ON AND
SIT BACK DOWN
I KNOW MY BOY
AIN'T HERE
BUT HE AIN'T GONE
IN THE MORNINGS
I WAKE UP
GIVE HER A KISS
HEAD TO THE KITCHEN
POUR A CUP OF
WAKE ME UP
AND TRY TO
ROUSE UP
SOME AMBITION
GO OUTSIDE
SIT BY MYSELF
BUT I AIN'T ALONE
I'VE GOT THE FATHER
MY SON
AND THE HOLY GHOST
I'VE BEEN BEAT UP
I'VE BEEN PUSHED
AND SHOVED
BUT NEVER REALLY
KNOCKED DOWN
BETWEEN
MOM AND DAD
UNCLE SAM
AND FRIENDS
I SOMEHOW ALWAYS
PULLED OUT
BUT THE PAIN OF THIS
WAS MORE
THAN I'D EVER FELT
BEFORE
YEAH I WAS BROKE
I CRIED AND
CRIED AND CRIED
UNTIL I PASSED OUT
ON THE FLOOR
THEN I PRAYED
AND PRAYED
AND PRAYED
'TIL I THOUGHT
I COULDN'T PRAY
ANYMORE
AND MINUTE
BY MINUTE
DAY BY DAY
MY GOD
HE GAVE ME HOPE
I KNOW MY BOY
AIN'T HERE
BUT HE AIN'T GONE
IN THE MORNINGS
I WAKE UP
GIVE HER A KISS
HEAD TO THE KITCHEN
POUR A CUP OF
WAKE ME UP
AND TRY TO ROUSE UP
SOME AMBITION
GO OUTSIDE
SIT BY MYSELF
BUT I AIN'T ALONE
I'VE GOT THE FATHER
MY SON
AND THE HOLY GHOST
I HOPE I LOVE
I PRAY I CRY
I HEAL A LITTLE MORE
EACH DAY INSIDE
I WON'T COMPLETELY
HEAL 'TIL I GO HOME
IN THE MORNINGS
I WAKE UP
GIVE HER A KISS
HEAD TO THE KITCHEN
POUR A CUP OF
WAKE ME UP
AND TRY TO ROUSE UP
SOME AMBITION
GO OUTSIDE
SIT BY MYSELF
BUT I AIN'T ALONE
I'VE GOT THE FATHER
MY SON
AND THE HOLY GHOST
ONE DAY I'LL WAKE UP
AND I'LL BE HOME
WITH THE FATHER
MY SON
AND THE HOLY GHOST
