Drive-By Truckers - Billy Ringo in the Dark lyrics
[Drive-By Truckers - Billy Ringo in the Dark lyrics]
When you wake up in the
Morning and you ask yourself
"Why does it even matter if I exist at all?
If I'm going through the motions
And my better days have passed
Should I even stick around?
Do I have the wherewithal?"
You thought you were destined
To conquer anything
Put yourself into the thickness and
The joy the chaos brings
Swing at every fastball and knock
It out the park
Explode the lights in fury Billy
Ringo in the Dark
Life came down upon you with
The weight of fallen worlds
The sound of scrеaming dogs in
The silence fеtal curled
Til no drink or pain reliever
Can afford a small relief
From the night sweats of the morning
After dreams in bitter sleep
You wake up in the morning
And you travel through your day
And you laugh at all the good jokes
Then nonchalantly go your way
And go out for the evening
For some drinks and smokes with friends
Then leave them with a smile
As you walk back home again
Light the candles slowly
For the shadows they will cast
Leave unanswered questions
For other folks to ask
Escape the burdens looming
In answers bold and stark
In the first new dawn of sunlight
Billy Ringo in the Dark
Morning and you ask yourself
"Why does it even matter if I exist at all?
If I'm going through the motions
And my better days have passed
Should I even stick around?
Do I have the wherewithal?"
You thought you were destined
To conquer anything
Put yourself into the thickness and
The joy the chaos brings
Swing at every fastball and knock
It out the park
Explode the lights in fury Billy
Ringo in the Dark
Life came down upon you with
The weight of fallen worlds
The sound of scrеaming dogs in
The silence fеtal curled
Til no drink or pain reliever
Can afford a small relief
From the night sweats of the morning
After dreams in bitter sleep
You wake up in the morning
And you travel through your day
And you laugh at all the good jokes
Then nonchalantly go your way
And go out for the evening
For some drinks and smokes with friends
Then leave them with a smile
As you walk back home again
Light the candles slowly
For the shadows they will cast
Leave unanswered questions
For other folks to ask
Escape the burdens looming
In answers bold and stark
In the first new dawn of sunlight
Billy Ringo in the Dark
