Revelation

I′m crashin’, I′m burnin’, I’m Whitley on the bourbon
There′s a sunrise in the curtains, I′m blacked out on purpose
She’s sleepin′ like an angel
I’m hummin′ “Cat’s in the Cradle”
Need some Billy Graham on that cable instead of Jim Beam sittin′ on the table

(Ooh) I’m a long, long way from home
(Ooh) but I can still see it through the smoke

I wish I still sang to Jesus like the way we used to do at church
And throw ‘em out from short, go around the horn, three up, three down in the first
I been goin′ too hard, I slid pretty far
Yeah, Mama and Heaven both know
I′m a man on a run with a hand on a gun
I’m a father and a son who needs that Holy Ghost

There′s a Chevron ‘cross the highway with the lights on
And I′m trippin’ on the blue and red, she smoked my last cigarette
Yeah, it′s one of those nights where I’m gonna be up all night
I’m seein′ burnin′-out stars in her eyes, it ain’t why God made a sunrise

I wish I still sang to Jesus like the way we used to do at church
And throw ′em out from short, go around the horn, three up, three down in the first
I been goin’ too hard, I slid pretty far
Yeah, Mama and Heaven both know
I′m a man on a run with a hand on a gun
I’m a father and a son who needs that Holy Ghost

Too young to feel this old
Too drunk to even know
Where I′m gonna end up, where I’m gonna go

(Ooh) I’m a long, long way from home
(Ooh) too early, too late to get somebody on the phone

I wish I still sang to Jesus like the way we used to do at church
And throw ′em out from short, go around the horn, three up, three down in the first
I been goin′ too hard, I slid pretty far
Yeah, Mama and Heaven both know
I’m a man on a run with a hand on a gun
I′m a father and a son who needs that Holy Ghost

I’m a hard one to love, yeah, it runs in my blood
I′m a father and a son who needs that Holy Ghost
