We were born into a battle We never got to choose Every night that cigarette Would burn down like a fuse It would glow until it blow And brother, hang on tight I was raised up in that darkness I'm still lookin' for the light I poured the hurt into my music Bourbon down my throat Left me broken like the bottles Bendin' like them roads Once I thought I almost made it I thought I'd be all right No, she had to go Leave me lookin' for the light Oooohhhh Oooohhhh Oooooohhhhhh Now I'm wonderin', wonderin' Where this all will lead With no more tears to cry And no more blood to bleed I could give in to this darkness And who knows, someday I might 'Til then I'll keep on walkin' Keep on lookin' for the light Singin' oooohhhh Oooohhhh Oooooohhhhhh
