The Bright Light of Day
Standing at the station, my ticket in my hand
A one-way fare back to plow my share of the broken promise land
My face against the window, my guitar in the bay
Bound to ride all through the night ‘til the bright light of day

Uncle Clyde he told me before he rose above
You can have more fun living on the run, but you’ll never be more loved
I burned candles, I burned bridges, burned whatever blocked my way
I’m heading south to put those fires out in the bright light of day

The bright light of day, the bright light of day
I sing my song as I roll along, let darkness fade away
The bright light of day, the bright light of day
I turn my eyes to the Eastern skies and the bright light of day

They say you can’t go home again but can you ever leave
The place you learned to love
Well I don’t know how or when I earned this reprieve
They knew to call my bluff, and that’s enough

It’s time to face the music, and face some demons too
When you look close you don’t see no ghosts, they look a lot like you
Breakfast on the table, I hang my head and pray
‘Cause Myrtle’s eyes don’t tell no lies in the bright light of day

The bright light of day, the bright light of day
I sing my song as I roll along, let darkness fade away
The bright light of day, the bright light of day
I turn my eyes to the Eastern skies and the bright light of day

Gonna make amends before this story ends in the bright light of day
