[Verse 1]
In my head, I am already gone
Side roads pointed up, decisions decided on
But in my nights, there are restless hours
When three a.m. comes down and nothin' else comes up

[Chorus]
And the only thing we know is it's gettin' dark and we'd better go
And the only thing we see are the despairs of the day
And if you're too tired, go to sleep, my brothers, I
And if you're too tired, go to sleep, my brothers, I'm alright to drive

[Verse 2]
But in my heart, I'm the weary kind
I'm much too tired to cry
Though it's sad enough for tears
It's been try, fail, try for years
When the next year comes along, I don't know if I'll be home
I don't know if we'll survive

[Chorus]
And the only thing we know is it's gettin' dark and we'd better go
And the only thing we see are the despairs of the day
And if you're too tired, go to sleep, my brothers, I
And if you're too tired, go to sleep, my brothers, I'm alright to drive
[Bridge]
And we're much too young of men to carry such heavy heads
And tonight for the first time, it felt good to be alive
And we're much too young of men to carry such heavy heads
And tonight for the first time, it felt good to be alive again, my friend

[Chorus]
Only thing we know is it's gettin' dark and we'd better go
And the only thing we see are the despairs of the day
And if you're too tired, go to sleep, my brothers, I
And if you're too tired, go to sleep, my brothers, I
And if you're too tired, go to sleep, my brothers, I
And if you're too tired, go to sleep, my brothers, I'm alright to drive
