The Place Where The Bright Lights End

The Place Where The Bright Lights End

I came home from the day
Just kind of battered and bruised
Life doesn't have to be this way
But sometimes it just is...

I drink a fresh cup of coffee
I pull on my old blue jeans
Button up my favorite shirt
I need to find a little bliss...

I go down to the old cafe
A bite of dinner with friends
I walk down the city street
To the place when the bright lights end...

I slip through that old door
Find my way to the bar
Order a bottle of beer
And wait for the night to send...

Send me a voice that cries to be heard
Send me a sound that touches me
Send me a good guitar
Send me a song that needs to be...

The bottle is cold on my finger tips
The taste is so sweet on my lips
I can feel the furrows falling away
Then I hear fingers on the strings...

I close my eyes and I find my self
I guess I was always waiting there
I breathe in the cold night air
And let go of the useless things...

Half of my life has gone by
Another half lays somewhere ahead
Now I have known some better days
But I have known other days as well...

The times that I trembled and wept
The times that I shook with rage
The times that I was lost and found
Somewhere within this heavenly hell...

Send me a voice that cries to be heard
Send me a sound that touches me
Send me a good guitar
Send me a song that needs to be...

Send me a voice that cries to be heard
Send me a sound that touches me
Send me a good guitar
Send me a song that needs to be...
