In the town where I was born Right across from that old church Used to keep my eye on Mary While she'd shine behind the birds Now the moon is in that window And the glow has hit you right Like a cigarette crushed in my pocket Waiting for a chance to light 'Cause when the lights come on And the sun goes down I'm gonna lay you down In the backseat of whatever I'm driving Driving around Up ahead is the old skate park Where I used to run around Couldn't ride for shit to save my life I'd pretend if you were around But now the dogs are getting called to And the kids are running up the drive Honey, we got nowhere we need to be At least not for tonight 'Cause when the lights come on And the sun goes down I'm gonna lay you down In the backseat of whatever I'm driving Driving around And you can call me old-fashioned But how did I never think of this until now? This house is all we've seen for days and days Why don't we go and drive around? 'Cause when the lights come on And the sun goes down I'm gonna lay you down In the backseat of whatever I'm driving Driving around

I've always been the victim Had someone else to blame I've grown so tired of playing that old game My emotions kept me slave Now I've found myself Forgiveness set me free Forgiveness set me free Forgiveness set me free

You're a cold day in August You're a stream too shallow You're a heart shaped box with no letter inside You're a seed unplanted You're a field run fallow Your heart's used up You're feeling cast aside I'm sorry that I left so soon I left you standing at the gallows You were all strung out The hangman waiting for the sign Come see me at the greenhouse In the back yard Come see me at the oak tree With our names carved in the bark Come see me at the train tracks Bring some pennies for old time's sake Even though I'm gone There's some memories that you need to take, with you Now you're working up the courage Just to walk yourself through that doorway A big world outside You're afraid of what you'll find Now you're leaning on friends Finding comfort and laughter You're patching up your heart You're finding some piece of mind I'm sorry that I left so soon You're stepping down from the gallows You were all strung up The hangman waiting for a sign So come see me at the greenhouse In the back yard Come see me at the oak tree With our names carved in the bark Come see me at the train tracks Bring some pennies for old time's sake Even though I'm gone There's some memories that you need to take, with you You found a new lover You went and got yourself married You're doing all the things we never got to do You had yourself a baby she's beautiful and happy Oh lord how I wish I could have given that to you But I left you too soon I was standing at the gallows I was all strung up I gave the hangman the sign You don't need me in the greenhouse In the backyard Down at the oak tree With our names carved in the bark Don't make it to the train tracks Bringing pennies for old times sake New memories that you need to make It's time for me to fade away I'm going home Ohh...

I'd be reaching out for nothing in the middle of the night Trying out punch lines, but they don't land right Who would I miss, who would I hold tight? Who would outshine the sun in the morning light? What in the world would I do without you? What in the world would I do without you? Who in the world would the birds sing to? Who'd be the "I" in my "I love you"? Who'd make all of my dreams come true? Who'd forgive what I can't undo? What in the world would I do without you? What in the world would I do without you? I'd be driving at night with no lights on Trying to find my way home What in the world would I do without you? When I hear a slow song, who would I spin around? Who'd be the home in my hometown? When I get too high, who'd take off my crown? When I'm up on a ledge, who would talk me down? What in the world would I do without you? What in the world would I do without you? I'd be driving at night with no lights on Out in the dark, too far gone Trying to find my way home back home to you What in the world would I do without you? What in the world would I do without you?

Why don't you tell me when it's comin' on? Why don't you tell me when I'm going wrong? Why don't you tell me when I lost my touch? Why don't you tell me when I drink too much? Oh, how I fell down a well The lights went out Yeah, the lights went out I couldn't get my grip again The means they justified the end It's a cryin' shame Nobody told me what it's all about Nobody told me I could bottom out Nobody told me I was stumbling Nobody told me about anything Wow, then I fell, all to hell The lights went out You always called yourself a friend You weren't therе to lift me then It's a cryin' shame Cryin' shamе Woah, I don't remember when I tasted blood Don't remember when I hit the mud I can't remember that blackout day All I remember is that you walked away Oh, then I fell, was like hell The lights went out I got no money I can spend I got some hurts that just won't mend It's a cryin' shame Cryin' shame Why do I wait when you won't come back? I'm on the wrong side of the zodiac I wish you would love me like my honey do I'm gonna drink without a thought of you Woah, now, I fell, all to hell The lights went out (yeah, ay) I'm waiting for the day's return I'm livin' for that liquor burn It's a cryin' shame Lights went out
