Almost Daylight

[Verse 1]
You're my guardrail when I'm on the road
You're my shelter from the rain and cold
When my candle is burning low
You're my beacon, I know where to go

[Verse 2]
You're the plain truth when the story's told
You're the punch line to my favorite joke
You're my best friend, you're my leaning post
You're my angel when I'm seeing ghosts

[Chorus]
I'm staring out the door of a motel room
Waitin' for the the sun to stare down the moon
Another long night
The rates are low but the cost is high
If I didn't have you, I'd never get by
It's all right, it's almost daylight

[Verse 3]
After Houston, it's San Antone
Miles of lonely but I'm not alone
You're the reason I ain't turned to stone
I'm a gypsy on my way home

[Chorus]
I'm staring out the door of a motel room
Waitin' for the the sun to stare down the moon
Another long night
The rates are low but the cost is high
If I didn't have you, I'd never get by
It's all right, it's almost daylight
It's all right, it's almost daylight
