Confession

Rusty barbed wire lines these fields Gravel dust behind the wheels Drifting like my mind into the rearview Jet trails cutting across 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 when life's a little sideways I take a sip and say a prayer Wait for a shooting 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 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 'em 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 when life's a little sideways I take a sip and say a prayer Wait for a shooting 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 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 when life's a little sideways I take a sip and say a prayer Wait for a shooting 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 moving in the right direction This is just a moonlight soaked, ring of smoke Right hand on a cold one confession
