[Verse 1]

Rusty barbed wire lines these fields

Gravel dust behind the wheels

Driftin' like my mind into the rearview

Jet trails cuttin' cross the sky

I'm rollin' through the open wide

Searchin' for a song to drink a beer to

And tryin' to find a place to disappear to

[Chorus]

I light up the night and let it burn

Lean back and watch a sundown fade

Do what I do when life's a little sideways

I take a sip and say a prayer

Wait for a shootin' star and stare

Off at the headlights on the highway

That guy in the windshield lookin' 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

[Verse 2]

Embers in the ashtray glow like memories that won't let go

I'm out here tryin' to get 'em untangled

In the darkness on the edge of town

A little lost, a little found

Waitin' on a call from an angel

[Chorus]

I light up the night and let it burn

Lean back and watch a sundown fade

Do what I do when life's a little sideways

I take a sip and say a prayer

Wait for a shootin' star and stare

Off at the headlights on the highway

That guy in the windshield lookin' 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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

I light up the night and let it burn

Lean back and watch a sundown fade

Do what I do when life's a little sideways

I take a sip and say a prayer

Wait for a shootin' star 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

Hope he's movin' in the right direction

This is just a moonlight soaked, ring of smoke

Right hand on a cold one confession
