about
The fifth of twelve songs on my album, Acoustic Redemption. I return to my beginnings, and I've stripped away so much of the "extra", to touch raw, revealing truths of the human condition.
lyrics
they sat at the bar and he told her he was afraid of her
she asked him just what more did he have to lose
they found a way home though the lights on the Chevy went out a long time ago
she told him life is simply any path you choose
another day spent searching for a penny
a couple of bucks to borrow, borrow for last call
looking through the windshield out at the stars, so many
and howl at the moon, please howl at the moon just one more time
before you fall asleep
driving down roads familiar but never seen before
stop at the old gas station for a last beer
believing in God is easy when you make it so safely home
and tumble into bed wondering “how did we get here”
the angels will always see to it we’ve done enough playing
following us to make sure the truck don’t stall
listening to them its funny to hear what their saying
howl at the moon please, howl at the moon just one more time
before you fall asleep
there’s a sun that’s rising in your dreams while you’re sleeping
it’ll follow you all day relentlessly
the neighborhood dive is happy to see you whittle away the night
you might have a laugh but there’s no guarantee
some other time were gonna make it out of here early
but one last dance for the ghost of old St. Paul
scuffing up the dance floor, got to be twisting, twirly
so howl at the moon, please howl at the moon just one more time
before you fall asleep
