Better days have gone away
Or it feels that way today
Broke down on the side of the road
Kicking rocks on the long way home
Thinking of warmer nights in the summer
When the bright lights didn't fade
It takes some light
To see where I belong
It takes some might
To fix what I did wrong
Wasting time I could have used
What am I to do?
A distant light that I can use
It gets me through
Got a hole in my pocket and the money's gone
At least there wasn't much to lose
And I'd rather find my way
I kicked the last rock down the drain
That's all I had to do today
Now I'm walking back up the road
It's all inside
I feel it wash away
When I know why
I'll let it go my way
Wasting time I could have used
What am I to do?
A distant light that I can use
It gets me through
Looking for signs tomorrow has
A life caught between four walls
Nothing left to pass the time
I got nothing better to do
It takes some light
To see where I belong
It takes some might
To fix what I did wrong
Wasting time I could have used
What am I to do?
A distant light that I can use
It gets me through
