WAKE YOU UP
Embers in the ash and daylight’s dyin’
Bourbon in a glass like a gun in my hand
The sun is sinkin’ fast but smoke is risin’
Tonight I’m gonna wake you up
Everyone’s sleepin’
Drive you around this one light town
Everyone’s leavin’
As soon as the money comes in
The pills run out, or Daddy quits drinkin’
One of these days, one of these nights
Mama’s still concerned I ain’t found Jesus
But he and I got different terms and conditions get worse
She says I’ll never learn, and she got damn good reason
Tonight I’m gonna wake you up
Everyone’s sleepin’
Drive you around this one light town
Everyone’s leavin’
As soon as the money comes in
The pills run out, or Daddy quits drinkin’
One of these days, one of these nights
How long till it wears us out?
Runnin’ circles around we go
