Keep the lights on

Up there in your high rise in your high dollar shoes

Judging my blue collar and the mud on my boots

You say we all need to change can’t keep living this way

But the wind don’t always blow and the sun sets every day

So I’ll keep the lights on

While you sitting there in your house

I’ll keep the lights on

Keep the fires from going out

You treat me like I’m second class

But I’ll not begging for your change

This low life keeps your collar white

And the jet fuel in your planes

Before you go and condemn me

I’ll while keep the wolves away

Just remember one thing

I’ll keep the lights on

While you sitting there and complain

I’ll keep the lights on

Til we find a better way

So I’ll keep the lights on

While you sitting there in your house

I’ll keep the lights on

Keep the fires from going out

I’ll keep the lights on

From up there on your high horse

It’s a long way to the ground

Your hopes and dreams won’t fuel a thing

With your head up in the clouds

You try to keep this world from turning

I’m where the rubber meets the road

You trying to keep this world from turning

While I’m out here chasing ghosts

So I’ll keep the lights

I’ll keep the lights on
