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
