Dark Side of the Road

from Little Town Blues (2015) by Mark Lucas

lyrics

He said I landed here a time or two
Somewhere on the journey ‘tween me & you
Didn’t mean nothing, just had time to kill
In the distance between, where you crave the thrill
Sometimes I feel so live I can’t gain control
Drifting to the dark side of the road

It was summer then & the nights were still
The heat hung like a blanket & the wind had no will
In the sentinel dawn I reach for sleep
But I find no solace & I just feel weak
Stranded in the static on the radio
Drifting to the dark side of the road

Now I hate for darkness to descend
Why must I feel such discontent

There’s a dead dog in the alley where I pass to make the call
When I tell you that I love you & I won’t hurt you no more
And half of me believes it & half of me is gone
Halfway up the street to where the neon crawl
Roving where the shipless sailors go
Drifting to the dark side of the road

That’s me in the alley if you wanna know the truth
Was I really no good or just a mixed up youth
Maybe it’s true what they say- you become what you believe
Well I believe in nothing hey I guess that’s just me
There’s solace in the shifting of the load
Drifting to the dark side of the road
