Almost Daylight

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You're my guardrail when I'm on the road You're my shelter from the rain and cold When my candle is burning low You're my beacon, I know where to go [Verse 2] You're the plain truth when the story's told You're the punch line to my favorite joke You're my best friend, you're my leaning post You're my angel when I'm seeing ghosts [Chorus] I'm staring out the door of a motel room Waitin' for the the sun to stare down the moon Another long night The rates are low but the cost is high If I didn't have you, I'd never get by It's all right, it's almost daylight [Verse 3] After Houston, it's San Antone Miles of lonely but I'm not alone You're the reason I ain't turned to stone I'm a gypsy on my way home [Chorus] I'm staring out the door of a motel room Waitin' for the the sun to stare down the moon Another long night The rates are low but the cost is high If I didn't have you, I'd never get by It's all right, it's almost daylight It's all right, it's almost daylight
