[Verse 1]
Well it's 3 AM again, like it always seems to be
Drivin’ northbound, drivin' homeward
Drivin' wind is drivin’ me
It just seems so funny that I always end up here
Walkin' outside in the storm while looking way up past the treeline
Been some time

[Verse 2]
Give me darkness when I'm dreamin'
Give me moonlight when I'm leavin'
Give me shoes that weren't made for standin'
Give me treeline, give me big sky
Give me snow-bound, give me rainclouds, give me [?] time
Just sometimes

[Verse 3]
Now you’re talkin’ in my room, but there ain't nobody here
’Cause I've been drivin' like a trucker, I've been wearin’ through the gears
I've been trainin' like a soldier, I've been burnin' through this sorrow
The only talkin' lately is the background radio

[Verse 4]
You were my friend and I was the same
Ridin' that hope was like catchin' some train
Now I just walk, well I don't mind the rain
Singin' so much softer than I did back then
[Verse 5]
Now the night, I think, is darker than we can really say
God's been livin' in that ocean, sendin' us all the big waves
I wish I was a sailor, so I could know just how to trust
Maybe I could bring some grace back home to the dry-land for each of us

[Verse 6]
Oh, say what you say, you say it so well
Just say you will wait, like snow on the rail
Combin' that train yard for some kind of sign
Even my own self just don't seem mine

[Verse 7]
Give me darkness when I'm dreamin'
Give me moonlight when I'm leavin'
Give me mustang horse and muscle, oh I won't be goin' gently
Give me slant-eye looks when I'm lyin', give me fingers when I'm cryin'
And I ain't [?] to cheat you, see I killed that damn coyote in me
