Blood-Red Sun

Lyrics

Verse 1
I've been up and down this lonesome country road,
Hitchin' my way on dusty heels, carryin' my load.
Searchin' for that angel to keep the shadows at bay,
But the devil's whisperin' closer with every break of day.

Chorus
I'm a long, long way from home, these streets are cold and mean,
Miss the smell of mama's cookin', neighbor's dog barkin' in between.
Can't stay too long, no sir, I'm always on the run,
Chasin' ghosts in the midnight, under a blood-red sun.

Verse 2
Whiskey rivers runnin' deep, and the bottle's my only friend,
Neon lights are flickerin', callin' me to sin again.
Train tracks hummin' sorrow, pullin' me further from the light,
Heart full of regrets, wanderin' through the endless night.

Chorus
I'm a long, long way from home, these streets are cold and mean,
Miss the smell of mama's cookin', neighbor's dog barkin' in between.
Can't stay too long, no sir, I'm always on the run,
Chasin' ghosts in the midnight, under a blood-red sun.

Bridge
One day that angel might find me, pull me from the brink,
But till then I'm ramblin' ragged, teeterin' on the edge, I think.

Outro
Yeah, always on the run... long way from home...
Hitchin' my way... alone.
