Gun in your hand in for the night
Blew a hole in the roof 'cause your shadow bites
Chasin' the dragon up on your hill
Mill Valley morn' can't get your fill
With spirits and dust you ward them away
Your heart hammers loud as the night turns to day
In the hard drivin' rain fast fallin' night
I saw your face surrounded by light
You said don't worry I'll be alright
I'm leavin' but I'll be alright
Slave to her beauty a man with his prize
She's on your arm someone's hand's on her thigh
Night on the town decked out in black
When you leave the bar she always looks back
Spirits and dust made you both stay
Tenderly tortured the night turns to day
In the hard drivin' rain fast fallin' night
I saw your face surrounded by light
You said don't worry I'll be alright
I'm leavin' but I'll be alright
Alone in a room clock on the wall
Counting the hours till the last call
Your friends and your bed you left them out west
Faith in these hours is put to the test
Some small human kindness I hope you did find
'Fore you walked out the door the very last time
In the hard drivin' rain fast fallin' night
I saw your face surrounded by light
You said don't worry I'll be alright
I'm leavin' but I'll be alright
