"Sleep Tonight". . Hey darkness, don't you try to steal the moment. Or close my eyes. I won't let you in. Cause this feels too damn good to me. All I want and all I need.
This is my confession. The things I've kept inside. Secrets I've tried to hide from you. . You never suspected. Even carefully contained. I've respectfully restrained the truth.
When you're on top of the world. or it's got you down. when you're flying through the air. or you're crashing to the ground. when you're searching for the light.
One in a million, Mama. That's good enough for me. And you can't make me stay here anyway. Now that I'm 18. . With everything she had in a duffel bag.
We didn't have a lot of fun in the desert. We didn't have a lot of fun in the sand. So saddle up your cow and fall behind us now. 'Cause we're going to the promised land.
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia. California on my mind. I boarded that Greyhound. Rode in into Raliegh on across Caroline. . Stopped in Charlotte to by pass Rockhill.
I'm not the man you see in all those movies. Or read about in all those fashion magazines. I won't build you monuments. Or fill your purse with rubies.
When I was nineteen, I threw my stuff in the car,. Headed up to the Rockies, took a job at this bar. Sellin' beer to the locals, and just barely getting by.
There's a hole in my heart. Seems like I've always been tryin' to fill with the treasures in life. The pleasures of the night but nothing ever will. There's a restlessness deep in my soul.
Fireflies are out tonight. Air is heavy and the moon is bright. I love this time of year. I talked to you this afternoon. You said you didn't have very much to do.
If time, it's time. Did he just say, "It's time"?. . We didn't have a lot of fun in the desert. We didn't have a lot of fun in the sand. But saddle up your cow and fall behind us now.
Na na na, na na na, na na na na. Na na na, na na na, na na na. . Yeah, I have my addictions.. I keep my share of secrets. And things you'll never see..
You look so peaceful sleeping,. You don't know that I'm leaving, but I'm gone.. Well I did my best to beat 'em,. But in my head, the demons said "Move on"..
Left my home in Norfolk, Virginia, California on my mind.. Straddled that Greyhound and rode it into Raleigh and on across Caroline.. We stopped in Charlotte but we bypassed Rockhill, we never was a minute late..
I can have a heart of stone. Stand my ground and walk alone. Be strong when everything falls down around me. . I can keep my self-control. Guard the secrets of my soul.
I've wished a million wishes on a big empty sky. And I've spent too many endless nights alone. Wondering if I was broken and, and why everything felt so wrong.
One in a million, Mama. That's good enough for me. And you can't make me stay here anyway. Now that I'm 18. . With everything she had in a duffel bag.
I'm barely hanging on, losing my grip. The hold that I had so strong is starting to slip. I'm trying so hard to hold up my guard. To paint a picture like I'm so tough.
If all my good fortune ended. If my whole world came tumbling down. If suddenly everything I'm sure of. Came crashing to the ground. If all of my worst fears came true.
I'm barely hanging on, losing my grip. The hold that I had so strong is starting to slip. I'm trying so hard to hold up my guard. To paint a picture like I'm so tough.
