Light of Day

Sitting at the corner of an old crossroad
Yellow light, red light, green light, go
I can't hit the gas, can't turn the wheel
Can't go back and make a deal
Sun ain't up, moon's gone away
Sure gets dark before the light of day

It's a long way there and it's a long way home
And there ain't no map for the road I'm on
Wind won't blow, stars won't shine
Been that way for the longest time
Looking for something to show me the way
Sure gets dark before the light of day

Running out of time, running out of gas
Lucky as a mirror with a broken glass
Now I know what they mean when they say
Sure gets dark before the light of day

Can't stay here, can't turn around
Ain't no trouble like the kind I've found
I guess this is the price I pay
Sure gets dark before the light of day

Sure gets dark before the light of day
