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 old 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
