[Verse 1]
If I let go of this wheel
Will I break my way through the grey?
Will I fly off somewhere different
Or in skyscraping shadows I stay?
Will Jesus take this wheel
And somehow turn the tide?
Lord knows I've been trying
There's a darkness in me lights can't hide

[Verse 2]
The skyline sure looks pretty
On nights like these
I'd say it was something if I could breathe
And hold you close to me
I'm shaking head to my toes
It's been a hard row to hoe
Born under blue skies, high ridges not rises
And time here moves so slow

[Chorus]
Skyline blues
Leave me no choice but to choose
To keep holding on to the end of this song
Or get out of here while I can and go be a better man
[Verse 3]
If I let go of this wheel
Will my tires find their way back?
Next to my woman, spark of my eye
She's everything I lack
I'll let go as fast as I can
Fuck all, I'm gone with the wind
Headed straight home, I'm done with alone
Get my soul back on the mend

[Chorus]
Skyline blues
Leave me no choice but to choose
To keep holding on to the end of this song
Or get out of here while I can and go be a better man

[Outro]
A better man
