Filling station signs

Light up the cold dead night

With their number driven art advertising prices

I'm out here all alone once more

In this truck that won't stay warm

And humility reveals itself priceless

Chorus:

It's just about all the time I've got

To figure out all the things I'm not

And it's just about all the time I'll need

Sometimes all we are is just who we'll be

My baby's safe at home

And man she don't know why I roam

And for someone I love so much I shouldn't have to try so

But these lights in my dark sky

Are man-made bulbs and hard copper wire

And not the heavenly moon and the stars a glowing

Chorus

But they're just so many roads

Where a man can feel at home

All the while alone and driving

And something you said to me last night

I just can't get out of my mind

That this time you're through trying

Funny how some thoughts in your mind

Only slip out when you're driving

And seem to disappear at other times

Like that outfit that you wore baby

For my birthday so crazy

Wasn't worth the price, but the memory's timeless

Chorus
