Nobody's foolin' nobody is to where it goes And The highway is alive tonight I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light Man walks along the railroad track He's Goin' some place, there's no turnin' back The Highway Patrol chopper comin' up over the ridge

But I know we're not alright I know we're not alright It's always dark as just before the light I know your silence is a deadly sound It's never easy when you're breaking down But I'll be there when you come around And everybody says they're fine

But I ain't in Checotah anymore I'm in a world so wide It makes me feel small sometimes I miss the big blue skies The Oklahoma kind Where sixty-nine meets forty There's a single-stoplight town And back when I was really young A part of that burned down

Girl your not invisible So I can find you In this perfect dream Don't think that you can Hide there in the shadows I'm waiting for the moonlight Your all that I can see And my heart slows down I can feel you all around

Blank face in the windowpane Made clear in seconds of light Disappears and returns again Counting hours, searching the night Might be waiting for someone Might be there for us to see Might be in need of talking Might be staring directly at me Inside

Give me that honey love Tonight is your night Cause' there is something that I want from you Yeah come inside Now turn the lights down Don't be scared, touch me I know what you want and uh For the rest of your life

Well, a goodbye never seems finished Just like these songs that I write They hang aloft like stars in the night But there's nothing there but the illusion of a light And you, you could've been mine Your mother, she's an actress And we're all putting on a

I'll be there Across the fields of mourning On borderland we run I am coming home And you know it's time to go Through the sleet and driving snow Light in the distance

If you want the world Use your mind Take control Feel the strength Rise from within If you really want it the world is yours There was only so much Rise into the light and fade to the night Sick of being told how to run your life

I won't stop breathing I can't believe what I've become Your world is falling at your feet Watch yourself I'm taking over The cracks in the pavement don't break my stride I step lightly Just 'cause you're breathing Don't mean you're alive
