Standin on the bank of a river Waiting for the sun to shine
Mornins come and gone I ain't seen nothin But big ol clouds a passin by
Kinda like the day the towers fell Man that still rapes my mind
Got nothin left to do But look to the heavens And pray for sudden light
Come on daylight Come on daylight Come on daylight I need the sun to run
Lyin on the bank of that river Wishin it was all a dream
I gotta get up an get myself movin Before the man come to catch me
Prayin that they don't find me here Knowin that they're bound to catch up
Nowhere left to run Nowhere left to hide Guess I'll just have to fess up
Come on daylight Come on daylight Come on daylight I need the sun to run
Come on daylight Come on daylight Come on daylight I need the sun to run
Now I'm standin in the county courthouse Facin bout 20 to life
I wish I'd never caught em My best friend A lyin there with my wife
I had that pistol loaded yeah And never even thought twice
Pulled back the hammer
Squeezed on the trigger
And took my best friends life
No more daylight No more daylight No more daylight I know my life is done
No more daylight I know my life is done
