Black Gold 02:35
Bedecked and bedazzled out on the road Eighteen hours away from my home The drone of the tires the only song i own The smell of the tarmac fuels up these bones Show me the way to black gold We're headed for higher ground Show me where the faith goes That's where i'll be found Red dirt burns my eyes, and a thousand lakes unfold An endless ribbon of wires carry twisted tales i'm told Lightning strikes reveal the road ahead A message from the heavens that beckons to be read Show me the way to black gold We're headed for higher ground Show me where the faith goes That's where i'll be found This is the way to black gold We're headed for higher ground This is where the faith goes It's where i'll be found

Quit my job And left without a trace God knows I felt so out of place Drove all night A fire in my mind Glowing bright On this cold december night Something in the air makes me question if I'm right Can anybody help me, help me through the night? Thinkin’ 'bout The way I led my life Lingering doubts Send shivers down my spine Something in the air makes me question if I'm right Can anybody help me, help me through the night? Take your words and let me run away There's a motel up the road, that's where I'm gonna stay A guitar and a shot of gin Got me in the state I'm in And I need help to make it through the night Something in the air makes me question if I'm right Can anybody help me, help me through the night?

That's just the way it goes they say Down at the corner bar by me Yeah, they'll take it away And eventually you'll see Nothing ever changes here The regulars sit and watch t.v. And they'll drink their beer And be thankful they're not me Better run, better hide 'Cuz you don't know who's on your side But you know that the fool will survive Rampant mediocrity Spreads out and multiplies again Like a bad disease Self doubt develops in your head So you run, and you hide But you still can't seem to get by And the man in the mirror makes you wanna cry So you look around for an answer But you don't know what you're after So you step aside and take your place in line Better run, better hide 'Cuz you don't know who's on your side But you know that the fool will survive

The light at the end of the tunnel's gettin' brighter And the sound of my guitar's gettin' lonely The road that i've been travellin's been a long one And the thought of turning back brings me down We're close enough to rock and roll for me Close enough to rock and roll for me Started out a small town boy with nothing When I heard the music, it inspired me It's close enough to rock and roll for me Close enough to rock and roll for me Ten years, look how far we've come I am here, sanctify this one The light at the end of the tunnel's gettin' brighter And the sound of my guitar's gettin' lonely Let's rock and roll Let's rock and roll Let's rock and roll Let's rock and roll
