Bill Mallonee - 3rd Shift Tower Gate lyrics

There's one step in the darkness one up in the bliss Tonight this air and this old chair are all there is Please don't let me build a house of cards When every one is made of gla** and soon reduced to shards Oh to strangle every boast and crucify my pride These days I just can't stop the hurt running deep inside And the road goes on forever or it doesn't go at all You start out walking ah but soon you learn to crawl And I hope to stick around for as long as I can Ah but sometimes you must make your peace with someone else's plans Too much coffee at the truck stops too much thirst inside the bars Too much hunger that's been driving you to wish upon a star Oh to crucify my pride and strangle every boast And pray to be forgiven by those you hurt the most And the road goes on forever or it doesn't go at all You start out walking ah but soon you learn to crawl You could count upon connections the few for what you've labored Yeah but you should count on nothing kid when you've fallen out of favor I rose and grabbed this guitar a curse and a blessing Girl you whispered something into my ear and it was my prize possession Yeah and maybe out on third shift where no one else can see One day when all our ghosts and true selves finally meet And the road goes on forever or it doesn't go at all You start out walking ah but soon you learn to crawl
