Mat Kearney - Chasing The Light

Every bridge that keeps on burning
Every leaf that you
keep on turning
Every road that you find uncertain
Pray for you now
Baby that you’ll figure it out
As you keep
Chasing the light
Remember back
when you slept on my floor
Blow up mattress down by the door
10 pounds heavier from wasted time
We didn’t know
we were way out of line
From the moment that you
popped out on the scene
Hard to know what you got or
you’re meant to be
Everything that you
know goes flying
From Jonny O’s coach
to a gypsy bus island
Holding hands with people in life
Till they walk away
saying no good byes
And you keep saying that
you’re running down a dream
But you don’t know where it leads
As you keep chasing the light
Every bridge that keep on burning
Every leaf that you
keep on turning
Every road that you find uncertain
Pray for you now
Baby that you’ll figure it out
Every hope and dream that’s dying
Every time that i see you crying
Every step that you
keep on climbing
Pray for you now
Baby that you figure it out
As you keep
Chasing the light
Got the call that you
sent out yesterday
40 lines and a fallout holiday
On my knees with
the weight that was mine
Think about you when
I’m driving at night
Familiar sounds and
it takes me right back there
Bridge street and the beat in
the summer air
Was it easier to watch you feet
And never deal with the hell
that a young boy sees
Where liquor runs
thicker than blood
On your own when
push comes to shove
Before we had these mouths to feed
With innocent dreams
while you keep
Chasing the light
Every bridge that keep on burning
Every leaf that you
keep on turning
Every road that you find uncertain
Pray for you now
Baby that you’ll figure it out
Every hope and dream that’s dying
Every time that I see you crying
Every step that you
keep on climbing
Pray for you now
Baby that you figure it out
As you keep
Chasing the light
Remember hearing
Dylan’s first songs first
Remember writing down
a train wreck verse
We were running down Franklin
High School lights
Burning alive in a Chevrolet night
Remember driving out to Salton Sea
Dreaming bout all we thought
we’d be
One way tickets
into southern lights
Slammed the door and said
goodbye, goodbye
Every bridge that keeps on burning
Every leaf that you
keep on turning
Every road that you find uncertain
Pray for you now
Baby that you’ll figure it out
Every hope and dream that’s dying
Every time that I see you crying
Every step that you
keep on climbing
Pray for you now
Baby that you figure it out
As you keep
Chasing the light
