[Verse 1]
Well she said nothin' ever good comes after midnight
Took me 23 years just to prove Momma right
On a curb with my hands behind my back somewhere near
Mac Davis Lane
Two sets of bright lights pointed at me
And an officer askin' my name
[Chorus]
Well I can find myself a woman
But ain't no ring heavy enough to weigh the bottle down
I can go and find Jesus
Even the cross casts shadows on the ground
I can live my life as a decent man
But purpose lived in the dark it ain't worth a damn
[Verse 2]
Well there ain't nothing that's more lonesome than a Sunday
Morning and a mirror howlin' out your name
Rock bottom's just a marker that you use to tell
The nighttime from the day
And make a promise not to be your father, Son
But his mistakes you try to erase
[Chorus]
Well I can find myself a woman
But ain't no ring heavy enough to weigh the bottle down
I can go and find Jesus
But even the cross casts shadows on the ground
I can live my life as a decent man
But purpose lived in the dark it ain't worth a damn
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Well I can find myself a woman
But ain't no ring heavy enough to weigh the bottle down
I can go and find Jesus
But even the cross casts shadows on the ground
I can live my life as a decent man
But purpose lived in the dark it ain't worth a damn
[Outro]
I can live my life as a decent man
But purpose lived in the dark it ain't worth a damn
