Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Standing in darkness
With empty hands
I still know how to use 'em but the miles made other plans
Running out of highway
Shorter on time
Feel the dead weight deepen and the devil comin' down the line
[Verse 2]
The dashboard shaking
I steady the wheel
And I make every turn by memory, by feel
Towards a black horizon
An unbroken dawn
Will this endless stretch of desert road get me back where I belong?
[Chorus]
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Baby, turn the bright lights on
'Cause I haven't forgotten where it is I'm from
Look out your window for me, here I come
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Baby, turn the bright lights on
Put me back on the corner to sing my song
I'm a shoo-in tonight, turn the bright lights on
[Verse 3]
I carried my own weight
And then some too
There are things I would change, but it ain't worth going through
Maybe I'm tapped out
Or just plain old tired
Tonight the charge is reading low, but I'm still hard-wired
[Chorus]
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Baby, turn the bright lights on
'Cause I haven't forgotten where it is I'm from
Look out your window for me, here I come
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Baby, turn the bright lights on
Put me back on the corner to sing my song
I'm a shoo-in tonight, turn the bright lights on
[Refrain]
Turn the bright lights on
[Bridge]
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Will you turn, will you turn
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Will you turn, will you turn the bright
[Verse 4]
You know I think it's gonna be alright
You know I think it's gonna be alright
You know I think it's gonna be alright
You know I think it's gonna be alright
Tonight, tonight, tonight, yeah
[Bridge]
You know I think it's gonna be alright
You know I think it's gonna be alright
Just take me back and let me sing my song
Turn the bright lights on
[Refrain]
Turn the bright lights on
[Outro]
Turn the bright lights on
