Confession

Rusty barbed wire lines these fields

Cloud of dust behind the wheels

Drifting like my mind into the rearview

Jet trail's cutting cross the sky

I'm rolling through the open wide

Searching for a song to drink beer to

And trying to find a place to disappear to

I light up the night and let it burn

Lean back and watch the sundown fade

Do what I do and life's a little sideways

I take a sip and say a prayer

Wait for the shoe and start and stare

Off at the headlights on the highway

That guy in the windshield

looking back looks just like me

But there's a crack in the reflection

This is just a moonlight soaked, ring of smoke

Right hand on a cold one confession

Embers in the ashtray glow

like memories that won't let go

I'm out here trying to get untangled

In the darkness on the edge of town

A little lost, a little found

Waiting on a call from an angel

I light up the night and let it burn

Lean back and watch the sundown fade

Do what I do and life's a little sideways

I take a sip and say a prayer

Wait for the shoe and start and stare

Off at the headlights on the highway

That guy in the windshield

looking back looks just like me

But there's a crack in the reflection

This is just a moonlight soaked, ring of smoke

Right hand on a cold one confession

I light up the night and let it burn

Lean back and watch the sundown fade

Do what I do and life's a little sideways

I take a sip and say a prayer

Wait for the shoe and start and stare

Off at the headlights on the highway

That guy in the windshield

looking back looks just like me

But there's a crack in the reflection

Always moving in the right direction

This is just a moonlight soaked, ring of smoke

Right hand on a cold one confession
