Shine a Light

Darling shine a light,
Keep it burning late tonight,
I'll be home as fast as I can;

I'm driving homeward bound,
The load keeps shifting round,
The wheels don't seem to balance in my hands,
I don't have that much to lose,
I've been used and been abused,
And you're the only one who'll understand;

So darling, shine a light,
Keep it burning late tonight,
I'll be home as fast as I can;

My nerves are frayed and torn,
Must be these pills I'm on,
My eyes can't see those double yellow lines,
No I can't see too clear,
That ol' highway in the mirror,
My wheels feel like they're spinning in the sand;

So darling shine a light,
Keep it burning late tonight,
I'll be home as fast as I can;

I'm so far away from you babe,
My head's so full of methedrine and beer,
Stranded out here on this endless highway,
With those lights that blind me in the rear view mirror;
