Before Sunrise

Gettin' older as the time goes by
Sometimes all I do is wonder why
Me 'n' my love see it eye to eye
Hope to make it home before sunrise

See the first light of the morning sky
Every time it's hard to say goodbye
Got no secrets and we tell no lies
Hope to make it home before sunrise

When I walk inside, will he be sleeping
Has he gotten used to all my leaving
I heard about relationships that crumble
Distant thunder, storm begins to rumble

I'm never gonna take this love for granted
What tricks do people do to stay enchanted
One last lonely hour till I'm back home
Don't want my man to start his day alone

Owl perched upon the wire owns the night
Rabbit dashes for cover out of sight
Coyote in the field gives a glance
They're my friends, and I give them a chance

Dilapidated buildings on my right
Survival every day must be a fight
There but for a twist of fate go I
Hope to make it home before sunrise - I roll on

World is complicated
I'm just tryin to make it
Seems that's what we all do
Sister know I hear you

The time alone makes my heart ache
The life I live could be a mistake
But music is my paradise
Hope to make it home before sunrise

I put up with the pickup lines
But sometimes one looks mighty fine
I gotta say, it's crossed my mind
Hope to make it home before sunrise

Been doin this for so many years now
We're gonna make it work for us somehow
I'll be traveling to shows until I die
Can't make it to the top until you try

We're all thinkin 'bout the path we make
So much in our short lives is give and take
Somebody said that life is like a highway
Not really, cause we're each findin' our own way

We thrilled em at the Show tonight
Got them on their feet, the ballads made em cry
Comin down to earth from bein' so high
Hope to make it home before sunrise

I'm dazzled by a shooting star
A metaphor for what we are
I got so many feels inside
Hope to make it home before sunrise

When I drive my mind begins to race
It can wander off to space - and to darker places

Underneath the night sky
Make it through my goodbyes
No secrets and no lies
Make it home by sunrise

Underneath the night sky
Make it through my goodbyes
No secrets and no lies
Make it home by sunrise
