Turning Gold

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I drove from Apalachicola in a hundred-year deluge I hated every second of that bridge from Baton Rouge Crossed the swamp to Texas, blew a tire out on 10 These Beaumont boys, they look at me like I ain't one of them, I ain't one of them [Verse 2] Hooker on the wrong side of Houston called me Suge When I was pourin' radiator fluid underneath the hood My driver's side is ridin' rough on the baldest spare I gnawed off every nail I have, I'm always in repair [Chorus] Every highway warns of danger Everyone out here's a stranger Every tale I wanna tell's already told It's always dark before the dawn But it's been dark for so damn long Damn it, man, the truth can be so cold But somewhere, there's a sunset turning gold [Verse 3] Sixty miles to San Antone, I'm speeding to the turn Patrolman on the overpass, guess I'll never learn That close ain't close at all until I'm really there And I can smell the jasmine as I'm walkin' up the stairs [Chorus] Every highway warns of danger Everyone out here's a stranger Every tale I wanna tell's already told It's always dark before the dawn But it's been dark for so damn long Damn it, man, the truth can be so cold But somewhere, there's a sunset turning gold [Chorus] It's always dark before the dawn But it's been dark for so damn long Damn it, man, the truth can be so cold But somewhere, there's a sunset Somewhere, there's a sunset I know where a sunset's turning gold [Outro] Turning gold Turning gold
