Chasing the High

The night is thick the stars don't glow

The only friends I got are shadows below

Chasing whispers in the darkened tide

On a lonely road where dreams collide

The wheels roll slow like a mournful hymn

The bourbon burns but it's feeling dim

Past the crossroads where stories fold

I'm chasing a high that won't let me grow old

Oh the blues don't lie and they don't forget

They spin me 'round in a devil's net

Lost in the echo of a tired refrain

Chasing a high but I'm chained to the pain

The streetlights flicker like a broken spark

A cigarette fades like a heart in the dark

Every mile steals a little more time

Chasing horizons that I've yet to find

I call to the moon but she won't reply

Her silver faith can't light my sky

I howl the song of a restless breed

My heart's a hunger my soul's the need

Oh the blues don't lie and they don't forget

They spin me 'round in a devil's net

Lost in the echo of a tired refrain

Chasing a high but I'm chained to the pain
