3rd Shift Tower Gate Year: 2007 | Run Time: 4:04
Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI)
there's one step in the darkness one up in the bliss
tonight this air and this old chair are all there is
please don't let me build a house of cards
when every one is made of glass and soon reduced to shards
oh to strangle every boast and crucify my pride
these days i just can't stop the hurt running deep inside
and the road goes on forever or it doesn't go at all
you start out walking ah but soon you learn to crawl
and i hope to stick around for as long as i can
ah but sometimes you must make your peace with someone else's plans
too much coffee at the truck stops too much thirst inside the bars
too much hunger that's been driving you to wish upon a star
oh to crucify my pride and strangle every boast
and pray to be forgiven by those you hurt the most
and the road goes on forever or it doesn't go at all
you start out walking ah but soon you learn to crawl
you could count upon connections the few for what you've labored
yeah but you should count on nothing kid when you've fallen out of favor
i rose and grabbed this guitar a curse and a blessing
girl you whispered something into my ear and it was my prize possession
yeah and maybe out on third shift where no one else can see
one day when all our ghosts and true selves finally meet
and the road goes on forever or it doesn't go at all
you start out walking ah but soon you learn to crawl
