As I drive into the night, slip into the haze Slowly open up my eyes, vanish from my pain Up onto this mountain where all my wild things are This is where I sleep at night, out underneath the stars So many miles behind me now, so far from my hometown Spirits guide me as I walk along with wolves and owls Up onto this mountain where all my wild things are This is where I sleep at night, out underneath the stars My heart still holds the memories, forgotten from my mind Nothing to go back to now, no turning back the time Up upon the mountains where all my wild things are This is where I sleep at night, play my old guitar Your love that settles onto me, I carry with me now Open wounds that bleed out in the distances allowed Up upon this mountain where all my wild things are Let me show you where I sleep out underneath the stars As I drive into the night and slip into the haze I slowly open up my eyes, vanish from my grave Up upon this mountain where all my wild things are This is where I taste your skin and sleep under the stars

I got a job, and my name's Joe Spend my days at the Texaco Never show up late Never show up drunk 'Cause when I get half lit, I'm a loaded gun Made a couple of wrong turns, did county time I do everything I can to stay between the lines I got a couple of good buddies that all stop in Say "it's good to see you brother, man, how you been?" I can't complain, I'm doin' alright Sleepin' pretty good, staying dry Thank the Lord every mornin' with a sweet Amen For how far I've come from, where I been So here's to good days, better tomorrows And a light, at the end of the bottle Some battles are fought on foreign shores And some are fought behind closed doors Some fall from grace Some lose their wings Some find the peace, salvation brings I got a couple of good buddies that all stop in Say "it's good to see you brother, man, how you been?" I can't complain, I'm doin' alright Sleepin' pretty good, staying dry Thank the Lord every mornin' with a sweet Amen For how far I've come from, where I been So here's to good days, better tomorrows And a light, at the end of the bottle Here's to good days, here's to livin' And here's to old sins, being forgiven And a bunch of good buddies that all drop in Say "it's good to see you brother, man, how you been?" I can't complain, I'm doin' alright Sleepin' pretty good, staying dry Thank the Lord every mornin' with a sweet Amen For how far I've come from, where I been So here's to good days, better tomorrows And a light, at the end of the bottle At the end of the bottle

There are stars in the southern sky Southward as you go There is moonlight and moss in the trees Down the Seven Bridges Road Now I have loved you like a baby Like some lonesome child And I have loved you in a tame way And I have loved you wild Sometimes there's a part of me Has to turn from here and go Runnin' like a child from these warm stars Down the Seven Bridges Road There are stars in the southern sky And if e'er you decide you should go There is a taste of thyme-sweetened honey Down the Seven Bridges Road
