Sitting at the corner of an old crossroads Yellow light, red light, green light, go I can't hit the gas Can't turn the wheel Can't go back and make a deal Sun ain't up Moon's gone away Sure gets dark before the light of day It's a long way there and it's a long way home And there ain't no map for the road I'm on Wind won't blow Stars won't shine Been that way for the longest time Looking for something to show me the way Sure gets dark before the light of day Running out of time Running out of gas Lucky as a mirror with a broken glass Now I know what they mean when they say Sure gets dark before the light of day Can't stay here Can't turn around Ain't no trouble like the kind I've found I guess this is the price I pay Sure gets dark before the light of day Sure gets dark before the light of day
