Every Light

Mat Kearney - Chasing the Light

Every bridge that keeps on burning

Every leaf that you keep on turning

Every road that you find uncertain

Pray for you now

Baby that you'll figure it out

As you keep chasing the light

Remember back when you slept on my floor

Blow up mattress down by the door

10 pounds heavier from wasted time

We didn't know we were way out of line

From the moment that you popped out on the scene

Hard to know what you got or you're meant to be

Everything that you know goes flying

From Jonny O's coach to a gypsy bus island

Holding hands with people in life

Till they walk away saying no good byes

And you keep saying that you're running down a dream

But you don't know where it leads

Every bridge that keep on burning

Every hope and dream that's dying

Every time that i see you crying

Every step that you keep on climbing

Baby that you figure it out

Got the call that you sent out yesterday

40 lines and a fallout holiday

On my knees with the weight that was mine

Think about you when I'm driving at night

Familiar sounds and it takes me right back there

Bridge street and the beat in the summer air

Was it easier to watch you feet

And never deal with the hell that a young boy sees

Where liquor runs thicker than blood

On your own when push comes to shove

Before we had these mouths to feed

With innocent dreams… while you keep

Chasing the light

Every time that I see you crying

Remember hearing Dylan's first songs first

Remember writing down a train wreck verse

We were running down Franklin High School lights

Burning alive in a Chevrolet night

Remember driving out to Salton Sea

Dreaming bout all we thought we'd be

One way tickets into southern lights

Slammed the door and said goodbye, goodbye
