Heard the word from brenda lee
You were coming home she said
Cross my heart I could not believe it
Holy hell you could have struck me dead but
Three cheers for the grapevine what
Told me you were coming home
Let's see where the night takes us
Let's see where the night goes
I admit its been slow going
You pay your bills and still they own yo
You know the way with best laid plans
Till this is me and that's who I am now
I make the rounds and pay my dues
Meet up with friends and I dream about you
It isn't much but it's still a lot
Sometimes honey I still get lost
In those long nights old cars
Back roads and the bone yards
You dropped the pedal like a holy roller
Sheriff of hell couldn't pull you over
Tough girl from the bad town
Brought up not to stay down
Sweet tea white lightning
Breaking hearts and not minding
Come on in its so good to see ya
It's been so long I know I know I
Let's see where the night takes us
Let's see where the night goes
Last I saw you was a greyhound waiting
You said don't be sad and don't be blue
La is not the destination
Still I believe that I must pass through
I saw your face from a time to time
Now you're coming home
Let's see where the night takes us
Let's see where the night goes
Only Lord oughta know the way I'm feeling
Only the living goes to the graveyard grieving
Still were alive and you're astounding
Feel the pulse of the world pounding
Feel the pull of the American diverse
The mountains the rivers the fields at harvest
It's all we have and that's a lot
Come on honey let's get lost
In the long nights old cars
Back roads and the bone yards
You dropped the pedal like a holy roller
Sheriff of hell couldn't pull you over
Tough girl from a bad town
Brought up not to stay down
Sweet tea white lightning
Breaking hearts and not minding
Come on in its so good to see ya
It's been so long I know I know I
Let's see where the night takes us
Let's see where the night goes
In the long nights old cars
Back roads and the bone yards
You dropped the pedal like a holy roller
Sheriff of hell couldn't pull you over
Tough girl from a bad town
Brought up not to stay down
Sweet tea white lightning
Breaking hearts and not minding
Come on in its so good to see ya
It's been so long I know I know I
Let's see where the night takes us
Let's see where the night goes
A long night
The old car
The backroads
And the boneyards
