The night's my best friend, a lover in disguise
Like a shadow that whispers, under velvet skies
The highway's my home, where broken hearts roam
I'm a drifter on the wind, lost and alone
Heartache's a chain, it clings to my soul
Like a song in the dark that'll never grow old
Life's like a storm, it'll wash you away
But Jesus stands steady in the pouring rain
I clutch to my bottle, like it's some kind of cure
And that bag of white snow makes the cold feel warm for sure
I know it's wrong, but it eases the pain
When life pulls you down, it's like drowning in flames
The road's a river, and I'm drifting downstream
Chasing the moonlight, caught in a dream
Misery's a dance, and I know all the moves
Like a tired old tune, where I can't shake the blues
The bottle's my compass, the coke's my north star
Guiding me farther, though I know it's too far
Life's like a storm, it'll wash you away
But Jesus stands steady in the pouring rain
I clutch to my bottle, like it's some kind of cure
And that bag of white snow makes the cold feel warm for sure
I know it's wrong, but it eases the pain
When life pulls you down, it's like drowning in flames
The night is a liar, she tells me I'm free
But the chains that she leaves, they're tightening on me
I'm walking this line, between sin and salvation
With a heart full of love, and a mind full of temptation
Jesus, I'm calling, but I'm lost in the din
In this war of my soul, will the devil win
Life's like a storm, it'll wash you away
But Jesus stands steady in the pouring rain
I clutch to my bottle, like it's some kind of cure
And that bag of white snow makes the cold feel warm for sure
I know it's wrong, but it eases the pain
When life pulls you down, it's like drowning in flames
(Outro)
The night's my best friend, but she's just a lie
And I'll keep running down this highway till I touch the sky
But maybe, just maybe, there's grace in the end
Even for a sinner who's lost all his friends
