Makin’ It Through The Night

Life it seems to keep on drifting
In steady steps of nine to five
And you’re out lookin for redemption
From a past you couldn’t seem to leave behind

Through the smoke filled mist between us
And with that neon moon above
A lonely heart and cheap liquor
Sometimes is the closest thing you have to love

CHORUS
So be my honky tonk angel, and I’ll be your rolling stone
And be my fast lane to nowhere, I’ll be the road that leads you home
And will both hold each other thinking, heads spinning from the drinking
That this aint no way to live this life
But the hardest part of living, yeah the hardest part of living
Is making it through the night

So take his picture off your dresser
And leave your halo on the wall
Keep your makeup, but take up everything
That made you ever give a damn at all

And in the morning you’ll regret me
But my face will fade in time
Our lonely roads will keep on winding
We’re just meeting at the crossroads to say goodbye

CHORUS
