Hello to the Light

I burned up the bars

The town's red with my blood

There's no going home

I'm half dead and full drunk

Even the dogs get quiet when I'm coming through

If you knew who I was, you'd get quiet too

My eyes like roman candles

Blazing bloodshot in the dark

Hiding in plain sight

Snorting money for a spark

I've got no ignition or gasoline to prime

Holy Lord, kill me, just say it's my time

Say goodbye to the cocaine

Goodbye to the bars

Goodbye bad credit

Hello, there I are

This life here is wasted

But I've had a good night

Goodbye to the bad life

Hello to the light

Cocaine and redwine

Breath like turpentine

I done snorted so much

I ain't got no more spine

I'm a holy roller tredding two white lines

Running on adrenaline and running out of time

Say goodbye to the cocaine

Goodbye to the bars

Goodbye bad credit

Hello, there I are

This life here is wasted

But I've had a good night

Goodbye to the bad life

Hello to the light

When I get to the gates

And see my father's son

There won't be no more whiskey

There won't be no more fun

Check the lock box for my pistol and what's left of my cash

Give it all to St. Peter to pay for my past

Say goodbye to the cocaine

Goodbye to the bars

Goodbye bad credit

Hello, there I are

This life here is wasted

But I've had a good night

Goodbye to the bad life

Hello to the light
