[Verse 1]
Tweaking on this old Ford
Ashtray full, long day’s pay
Wind through pines like a choir
Smoke in my face, bills in the way
Working hard for them two rings
Two wives, two sides of me
One wants beach and bright blue water
One wants roots and shade and trees
[Chorus]
Let there be light
On this broken-back life I’m hauling
Let there be light
Through the storm when the sky keeps falling
Roars of thunder
Waves that crash while my phone keeps calling
Let there be light
Let there be light on everything I’m holding (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Surveillance in that clear sky
Little bird hums over the fields
Watching every move I make
Knows what I hide, what I feel
Surf rolls on that dark coast
Boots dusty from red clay roads
Country boy in a crossfire
Between the code and the overload
[Chorus]
Let there be light
On this broken-back life I’m hauling
Let there be light
Through the storm when the sky keeps falling
Roars of thunder
Waves that crash while my phone keeps calling
Let there be light
Let there be light on everything I’m holding (oh)
[Bridge]
If I run to the hills
If I dive in the tide
If I’m lost in the smoke
Will you still be on my side?
[Chorus]
Let there be light
On this broken-back life I’m hauling
Let there be light
Through the storm when the sky keeps falling
Roars of thunder
Waves that crash while my past keeps calling
Let there be light
Let there be light on everything I’m holding
