lyrics
Cutting through the dead of night
Moons Corona shining bright
Being out on the road
I play my gigs and then get home
But there’s still 100 here to drive
60 minutes past midnight
I looked up to the skies
See the stars above
And all I want to do
Yes all I want to do
All I want to do
Is get home to my love
Folks home in bed while i’m eating up the road
Having this time to myself I think about the world
The random chance that I was born
The pressure to conform
About fortunes careless hand
Or the politics of man
All them rich old geezers
With the lab made diseases
And they do what they pleases
As the temperature increases
