My heart went to music My heart went to drink My soul, straight to music Kept me here in hard times I think And I think I speak the gospel When I tell you this truth: That if Jesus wore my shoes He'd reach for the bottle too Long is the night Proud is the curtain call In the brightest light Dark are the shadows that fall And that Lord's been a knockin' He's come to grant me my wish Because there are things worse than dying When you've been living like this Long is the night Proud is the curtain call In the brightest light Dark are the shadows that fall There's a song in everyone Mama told me when I was young Why was mine so short? Hell mama, where are you now? When that sun takes its bow Oh Lord, lay my head down In the back seat of a Caddy With those wheels still spinnin' round With those wheels still spinnin' round
