Take down that glass and pour me a strong one,
‘Cause pretty soon they'll be choosing sides and I'll be on the wrong one.
There's storm clouds, wind, rain and hail,
But I still believe that love’s too big to fail.
 
We've been chasing down the dreams they showed us to,
Now the Mercury is rising and we don't know what to do.
Yeah, there's times when the future seems so frail,
But I still believe that love's too big to fail.
 
There's people on the roof tops and people in the streets.
They're shouting names and wanting change, a kind they've never seen.
And I can't say how it's gonna be, or if truth will prevail,
But I still believe that love's too big to fail.
 
Now the people lose their way one by one,
And it's hard to stop that train once it's begun.
In our blindness we're building our own jails,
But I still believe that love's too big to fail.
 
There's people on the rooftops and people in the streets.
They're shouting names and wanting change, a kind they've never seen.
And I can't say how it's gonna be, or if truth will prevail,
But I still believe that love's too big to fail.
 
Yeah, we see it growing darker every day,
Till we don't know how much more that we can take.
Still we're drawn somewhere just beyond the veil,
And we still believe that love’s too big to fail.
And we still believe that love’s too big to fail.
Yeah, we still believe that love’s too big to fail.

The Danville Train used to run this way,
Now they're pulling up the tracks and hauling them away.
They’re leaving nothing behind,
Just the memories and scars along the line.
 
When you found me I was less than I am,
You were drowning in your tears when you reached out for my hand.
And, the devil was shining in your eyes,
And for a little while, two wrongs made a right.
 
Yeah two wrongs made a right,
In the darkest hour of night.
And you tell me that you’re leaving come the morning light,
But for a little while two wrongs made a right.
 
Now you never told me all that you went through,
Guess I didn’t want to hear about the things they’d done to you.
But you grew like you’d never seen the light.
Ain’t it funny how two wrongs made a right?
 
Yeah two wrongs made a right,
In the darkest hour of night.
And you tell me that you're stronger, and ready to take flight,
But for a little while two wrongs made a right.
 
The Danville Train used to run this way,
Now it’s fading into darkness as it carries you away.
Pretty soon there’ll be nothing left in sight.
But for a little while two wrongs made a right.
For a little while two wrongs made a right.

Out on this highway it’s always the same,
You drive all night till the sun shows its face,
Still a long way to go but I'm Heading home again.
On a farm out of Leesburg off an old dirt road,
Where I used to run in the white corn rows,
Still a long way to go but I'm Heading home again.
 
Heading home again.
I've been gone too long my friend.
And this road it never ends.
But I'm heading home again.
 
Now you run all day and you run all night,
And if you don't work hard you'll run all your life,
Yeah, the years will pass you by leaving you without a friend.
‘Cause it ain't the money, it ain't the cars,
It ain't the lovers, and it ain't the bars,
No there ain't no feeling like heading home again.
 
Heading home again.
I've been gone too long my friend.
And this road it never ends.
But I'm heading home again.
 
(Now) We tell ourselves all about the lives that we lead,
Yeah we tell ourselves we're standing on our own two feet.
But in the end it’s all that we can do,
To wash away the lines between me and you.
Yeah, let’s wash away the lines between me and you.
 
‘Cause Out on this highway it always the same,
You drive all night till the sun shows its face,
Still a long way to go but I'm Heading home again.
Still a long way to go but I'm Heading home again.
Still a long way to go but I'm Heading home again.

I've got half a broken heart, and I don't know where to start,
‘Cause I can't stay here, and I can't let you go.
I watch your picture on the wall, and I wait for it to fall,
‘Cause you'll be leaving soon and everybody knows.
 
I've walked this road with you for so long,
I deserve better than this.
 
You got one foot out the door, and the other on the floor,
Like you’re holding on to what we used to be.
There's nothing I can say, but I can't live this way,
So if you won’t do it for you do it for me.
Do it for me.
 
There were times when things were new, when you were all that got me through,
But you won’t sing those songs for me no more.
We’re the tiniest of sparks, just a flicker in the dark,
Only a shadow of the things we were before.
 
I've stayed by your side through wind and storm,
I deserve better than this.
 
‘Cause you got one foot out the door, and the other on the floor,
Like you’re holding on to what we used to be.
There's nothing I can say, but I can't live this way,
So if you won't do it for you do it for me.
Do it for me.
Do it for me.

I heard you been drinking again,
And telling everybody how he's just a friend.
I wish I could believe that were true.
I guess there's some things you just can't undo.
 
I watched as you pulled into town,
A cigarette burning and the window rolled down,
Like you had something to prove.
I guess there's some things you just can't undo.
 
I guess there's some things you just can't undo,
What you've done to me and what I've done to you.
It's always been wrong, it ain’t ever been true.
I guess there's some things you just can't undo.
 
Now I passed him today on the street,
And I stared straight down at my feet,
‘Cause somehow I knew that he knew.
I guess there's somethings you just can't undo.
 
I guess there's some things you just can't undo,
What you've done to me and what I've done to you.
It's always been wrong, it ain’t ever been true.
I guess there's some things you just can't undo.
 
Now I lock myself up as long as I can,
Hold tight to my heart till I let go again.
Till I lay myself down like always do,
There's nothing to gain and nothing to lose.
There's nothing to gain and nothing to lose.
 
So I heard you been drinking again,
And telling everybody how he's just a friend,
Who knows maybe this time it's true?
I guess there's some things you just can't undo.
I guess there's some things you just can't undo.
I guess there's some things you just can't undo.

There's a motel sign up ahead, and a $40 bed
Where we can spend the night.
We been driving for so long, yeah, Tulsa’s good and gone,
We've been lost in these headlights.

And up ahead there's just more of the same.
We’ll pull off of the highway and forget our names for a while,
Up ahead.
 
There's a fog rolling in, and the air it's getting thin,
But I think we can make it through.
You're getting hard to see, sitting right here next to me,
But there ain't much that we can do.

Up ahead they are calling for snow,
We’ll keep one eye on the shoulder and one eye on the road and take it slow,
As we go, up ahead.
 
Sometimes the best that you can do
Is hold on to the deepest part of you.
 
There's a motel sign up ahead, and a $40 bed,
Where we can spend the night.
We been driving for so long, but still we carry on,
Lost in these headlights.
Just lost in these headlights.

Well I do believe it’s time to go,
Tomorrow we take up with the road.
‘Cause it’s been far too long, and we are too far gone,
And I do believe it’s time to go.
 
‘Cause we’ve been living for the past too long,
Dreaming on the promises of poets dead and gone.
And you can feel it in the wind, yes, it’s time to start again,
‘Cause we’ve been living for the past too long.
 
There’s a road we followed here,
Running on hope and driven by fear.
Tooth and claw, rule of law, and dog eat dog,
Year after year.
 
But don’t believe a word they say,
‘Cause just like you and me they're all workin’ for their pay.
There’s no place to start, just follow your heart,
And don’t believe a word they say.
 
There’s a road laid out ahead,
Yeah, we’re going somewhere but we ain’t found it yet,
And out here there’s no returns, no exchanges, and no regrets.
 
We ain’t got nothing to prove,
We did what we did and we will do what we do,
‘Cause there ain’t no changing, you just learn to stop playin’.
And we ain’t got nothing to prove.
We ain’t got nothing to prove.
No we ain’t got nothing to prove.

We've got bills to pay, and a little put away,
And we're bringing in some money on the side.
We've got dreams that's big, and a wound time won't forgive,
And we’re getting too old for goodbyes.
 
Now we've been round the bend, and we've been back again,
But I've never seen that look in your eyes.
Well, it cuts and it soothes, and it feels like the truth,
And it's everything that I want in this life.
 
And we can feel the ground move beneath our feet,
As we stand inside this room.
And everything is in bloom.
 
I’ve been out on the road, always on the go,
And you, you've been doing the same.
Yeah, We've been burning at both ends, trying to pretend,
That in the end, nothing will change.
 
And we can feel the ground move beneath our feet,
As we stand inside this room.
And everything is in bloom.
 
We've got bills to pay, and a little put away,
And we're bringing in some money on the side.
We've got dreams that's big, and a wound time won't forgive,
And we’re getting too old for goodbyes.
Yeah, we’re getting too old for goodbyes.

I thought someone was at the wheel.
I thought somebody up there was keeping score.
But it's just you and me,
And the dreams we choose to dream forevermore.
 
I'd been burned out on the news.
I'd been turning inside out and going deep.
To find those things that stand so still, a promise to fulfill,
Just one more lost soul learning how to be.
 
But it's a long way down,
When the sky gets dark and the wind is cold.
Reach out take a hand, try once more if you can,
And we can walk together into the Promised Land.
 
‘Cause I've been hearing a new song,
From town to town, job to job, and heart to heart.
It seems so far to go, but it’s closer than you know,
So start opening doors and find out where they go.
 
‘Cause it's a long way down,
When the sky gets dark and the wind is cold.
Reach out take a hand, try once more if you can,
And we can walk together into the Promised Land.
And we can walk together into the Promised Land.
Yes, we can walk together into the Promised Land.

You stopped on the shoulder and the dust blew away,
I watched you get out on a hot summer's day,
And step back into my life,
Out of the Tennessee night.
 
It's been hard miles since you left this town,
Faithful and fearless your feet on the ground,
Now you're back and you’re burning bright.
Straight out of the Tennessee night.
 
Out of the Tennessee night,
That's where I want you to stay.
Far from all the bright lights,
The ones that took you away.
I've been lost in this town,
Trying to keep you in sight.
And you've been out there too long,
Alone in the Tennessee night.
 
I watched as your dress it blew in the wind,
Your hair in your face and the sun on your skin,
It's been years since you've seen the light,
And been out of the Tennessee night.
 
I followed the path of your star in the sky,
I traced every line, every tear that you cried,
Hoping you'd get out all right,
Out of the Tennessee night.
 
Out of the Tennessee night,
That's where I want you to stay.
Far from all the bright lights,
The ones that took you away.
I've been lost in this town,
Trying to keep you in sight.
And you've been out there too long,
Alone in the Tennessee night.

The summer I turned eighteen I worked down at Rouge Ford,
Forty cars an hour we put out the door.
I must have climbed in every one as they rolled down of the line,
I was looking for something that I'm still trying to find.
 
I never cut the rugged frame as in those magazines.
I never liked the sight of me, a sight I've never seen.
But Mama saw me perfectly, her love for me was true,
How could she have known what this cruel world can do?
 
Hold me tight, tonight, while we wait for morning’s light.
‘Cause the days keep slipping by me, and they’ve never seemed quite right.
Hold me tight, Hold me tight, tonight.
 
In the darkness of the night shift I still walk those polished floors,
Flashing lights and Hi Lo’s and the sound of slamming doors.
I’ll work like the devil ‘til my body it gives in,
But the outside never tells of the pain it holds within.
 
So hold me tight, tonight, as we wait for morning’s light.
‘Cause the years keep slipping by me, and they’ve never seemed quite right.
Hold me tight, hold me tight, hold me tight,
Hold me tight, hold me tight, tonight.
