Lyrics
verse 1
been a long two weeks in a hard hat halo
dust on my bible, mud on my soul
made a pillow outta this ol’ Carhartt
chasing dollar signs that’s tearing us apart there’s a picture of you taped inside my locker
kids on your hip, smile like a prayer
I count the days on a crumpled-up timesheet
while the wind blows sand through my hair……
chorus
I’ve been sleeping under fluorescent moons
where the diesel sings and the coyotes croon
fake daylight on a West Texas dune
trying to dream my way back home to you
if this job don’t kill me it’ll break me in two
sleeping under fluorescent moons, missing you
verse 2
your voicemail’s full of “call me when you can, babe”
I hit redial and it just rings through
by the time I get off, the sun’s already waking
the world you’re living in without me too ……
there’s a swing in the yard that I helped you hang there
rusting slow while I’m rusting fast
I keep saying one more hitch, one more payday
but the miles between us just stack up like cash
chorus
I’ve been sleeping under fluorescent moons
where the diesel sings and the coyotes croon
fake daylight on a West Texas dune
trying to dream my way back home to you
if this job don’t kill me it’ll break me in two
sleeping under fluorescent moons, missing you
bridge
one more sunrise in a break room chair
coffee tastes like overtime and burned-out prayers
promise I’m coming back, I just don’t know when
’cause the light plants flicker and they hire me again
outro
so I’ll lay my head where the night’s gone wrong
hum your name like a country song
’til the good Lord pulls me out of these fumes
I’ll be sleeping under fluorescent moons ………..
