Those neon lights on broadway don't shine as bright as you think

Hell done played the jukebox, I drank the whiskey till my ears rang

Been staying out past midnight, burning at both ends

Waiting for a turnaround or just looking for a win.

It is a phone call from a long haul

The dark side of the road

Wasted till you're too far gone

Hands off of the controls

This way that I've been living

Tearing down a dream

Know it won't take too long to see

Who I don't wanna be.

I got people praying 'bout me and praying don't come cheap

That highway billboard sign says, "jesus still loves me"

If I could get to town by monday and fix just what went wrong

She might still be mine or she might just move on.

And it'll be a phone call from a long haul

The dark side of the road

Wasted till you're too far gone

Hands off of the controls

This way that I've been living

Tearing down a dream

I know it won't take too long to see

Who I don't wanna be

No, I don't wanna be

Yeah...

And it'll be a phone call from a long haul

Dark side of the road

Wasted till you're too far gone

Hands off of the controls

And this way that I've been living

Tearing down a dream

I know it won't take too long to see

Who I don't wanna be.

Who I don't wanna be

It won't take long to see.
