Night Owl

[Intro]
Where the steeples and the skyways meet
Through the lonely and deserted streets
I've been wandering my way back home
To the girl with the secret smile
That owns my heart a million miles away
Wherever I roam

[Chorus]
Praying for the bright headlights
Coming over the hills (I'll never go away again, I swear)
It's turning darker with the passing time
But I'll be here still (I hope you're not asleep when I get there)
I'm a night owl waiting for you

[Verse 1]
County lines and water towers
I'm making ground, burning daylight hours
Getting lost in rolling fields and pastures
But as the stars begin to fall
I find myself trying to count them all
And wish on one to get me there faster

[Chorus]
Praying for the bright headlights
Coming over the hills (I'll never go away again, I swear)
It's turning darker with the passing time
But I'll be here still (I hope you're not asleep when I get there)
I'm a night owl waiting for you

[Verse 2]
Hurry up, hurry up
Before the morning
I'll be staying up, staying up
Dreaming of you

[Chorus]
Praying for the bright headlights
Coming over the hills (I'll never go away again, I swear)
It's turning darker with the passing time
But I'll be here still (I hope you're not asleep when I get there)
I'm a night owl waiting for you

[Outro]
I'm a night owl waiting for you
