Out here alone under the stars
Turn off the headlights find somewhere to park
Light up and lay down empty my lungs
Eyes in the distance heart in the trunk

Untie the laces kick off my shoes
Just like the night I’m all black and blue
Reach for the bottle drown out the pain
Me and my memories fading away

Nowhere to run nothing to lose
I know what I’ve done why I don’t have you
Can’t seem to find a goddamn to spare
Too high to cry too drunk to care

Can’t say I’m proud of what I’ve become
A damn fool layin’ here stupid and stunned
Now you’re gone there ain’t shit else to do
Screwed myself good amen that’s the truth

Nowhere to run nothing to lose
I know what I’ve done why I don’t have you
Can’t seem to find a goddamn to spare
Too high to cry too drunk to care

So dear God if you’re up in the clouds
Come and save me I’m here on the ground
I surrender it’s too late to lie
Maybe I need you just for tonight
