You're my guardrail when I'm on the road
You're my shelter from the rain and cold
When my candle is burning low
You're my beacon, I know where to go

[Verse 2]
You're the plain truth when the story's told
You're the punch line to my favorite joke
You're my best friend, you're my leaning post
You're my angel when I'm seeing ghosts

I'm staring out the door of a motel room
Waitin' for the the sun to stare down the moon
Another long night
The rates are low but the cost is high
If I didn't have you, I'd never get by
It's all right, it's almost daylight

After Houston, it's San Antone
Miles of lonely but I'm not alone
You're the reason I ain't turned to stone
I'm a gypsy on my way home

I'm staring out the door of a motel room
Waitin' for the the sun to stare down the moon
Another long night
The rates are low but the cost is high
If I didn't have you, I'd never get by
It's all right, it's almost daylight
It's all right, it's almost daylight
