With a pocket of luck   I made it out to Greenville   Where I married that big American sky   While all my cynical friends   Have been camped out in the suburbs   I’ve been running around   Living a ramblin’ man’s life      From a bar stool   I was shouting out bible verses   To a ghost who’d been following me for awhile   And I couldn’t find the energy I needed   To make myself smile      These headlights are just a pair of eyes   That only open at night   To see the darker side   And these dead end streets   Only lead to dead end things   My heart’s drenched in gasoline   Don’t light a spark in me      I woke up to feel the dirt   I swear for a second I could feel a heartbeat in the earth   And the stars burned like cigarettes   And danced like ashes over my head   I couldn’t even say a word      From a parking lot   I was fighting with the shadows   And trying to run away from my own   No matter how many songs I write   He’s never going to leave me alone      These headlights are just a pair of eyes   That only open at night   To see the darker side   And these dead end streets   Only lead to dead end things   My heart’s drenched in gasoline   Don’t light a spark in me
