battled and bruised
i come rollin’ in
the kids are asleep
the porch light is dim
i’m just here tonight
i’m only passing through
cuz I can’t make a living from holding you
today on the line
we were talking
you said you remember the time
when we could roll on a whim
now I can’t build a home where I want to
and I can’t make a living from holding you
takes everything that I got
the road it don’t care if you bleed
i’m haunted by the man that I’m not
and tied to the things I can’t leave
remember the day
we went walking
i promised you then if you let me in
i’d pay for the ring
and I still want to
i just can’t make a living from holding you
oh the night won’t leave me
oh the night won’t leave me alone
