  • Standing in darkness with empty hands
    I still know how to use 'em, but the miles made other plans
    Running out of highway, shorter on time
    Feel the dead weight deepen and the devil coming down the line
    The dashboard shaking, I steady the wheel
    And I make every turn by memory, by feel
    Towards a black horizon, an unbroken dawn
    Will this endless stretch of desert road get me back where I belong?

    Will you turn the bright lights on?
    Baby, turn the bright lights on
    'Cause I haven't forgotten where it is I'm from
    Look out your window for me, here I come
    Will you turn the bright lights on?
    Baby, turn the bright lights on
    Put me back on the corner to sing my song
    I'm a shoo-in tonight, turn the bright lights on

    I carried my own weight and then some too
    There are things I would change, but it ain't worth going through
    Maybe I'm tapped out or just plain old tired
    Tonight the charge is reading low, but I'm still hard-wired

    Will you turn the bright lights on?
    Baby, turn the bright lights on
    'Cause I haven't forgotten where it is I'm from
    Look out your window for me, here I come
    Will you turn the bright lights on?
    Baby, turn the bright lights on
    Put me back on the corner to sing my song
    I'm a shoo-in tonight, turn the bright lights on

    Turn the bright lights on

    Will you turn the bright lights on?
    Will you turn the bright lights on?
    Will you turn the bright lights on?
    Will you turn the bright lights on?
    Will you turn the bright lights on?
    Will you turn the bright lights on?
    Will you turn the bright lights on?
    Will you turn the bright lights on?
    Will you turn the bright lights on?
    Will you turn, will you turn
    Will you turn the bright lights on?
    Will you turn, will you turn them on?

    You know, I think it's gonna be alright
    You know, I think it's gonna be alright
    You know, I think it's gonna be alright
    You know, I think it's gonna be alright
    Tonight, tonight, tonight, yeah
    You know, I think it's gonna be alright
    You know, I think it's gonna be alright
    Just take me back and let me sing my song
    Turn the bright lights on
