Lights Are Shining Bright
It′s Always Downtown On The Road
I Have Friends That Come From Outta TownAsking Me To Go
They Say, "There's So Much Going On
Why Don′t You Come Along And Show Us Around?"

I Tell Them Karen's Not Feeling Well
So I Probably Shouldn't Go Out
Besides I′ve Gotta Fix A List Of Things
I Need To Do Around The House
Then I Hang Up The Phone
Turn The Radio Back On, And Sit Back Down

I Know My Boy Ain′t Here But He Ain't Gone

In The Mornings I Wake Up, Give Her A Kiss, Head To The Kitchen
Pour A Cup Of Wake-me-up And Try To Rouse Up Some Ambition
Go Outside, Sit By Myself But I Ain′t Alone
I've Got The Father, My Son, And The Holy Ghost

I′ve Been Beat Up
I Been Pushed And Shoved
But Never Ever Really Knocked Down
Between Mom And Dad, Uncle Sam And Friends
I Somehow Always Pulled Out
But The Pain Of This Was More
Than I'd Ever Felt Before, Yeah I Was Broke

I Cried And Cried And Cried
Until I Passed Out On The Floor
Then I Prayed And Prayed And Prayed
Till I Thought I Couldn′t Pray Anymore
And Minute By Minute, Day By Day
My God, He Gave Me Hope

I Know My Boy Ain't Here But He Ain't Gone

In The Mornings I Wake Up, Give Her A Kiss, Head To The Kitchen
Pour A Cup Of Wake-me-up And Try To Rouse Up Some Ambition
Go Outside, Sit By Myself But I Ain′t Alone
See, I′ve Got The Father, My Son, And The Holy Ghost

I Hope, I Love, I Pray, I Cry
I Heal A Little More Each Day Inside
I Won't Completely Heal Till I Go Home

In The Mornings I Wake Up, Give Her A Kiss, Head To The Kitchen
Pour A Cup Of Wake-me-up And Try To Rouse Up Some Ambition
Go Outside, Sit By Myself But I Ain′t Alone
I've Got The Father, My Son, And The Holy Ghost

One Day I′ll Wake Up And I'll Be Home
With The Father, My Son, And The Holy Ghost
