Lyrics
Mm... yeah Two shifts down and the clock says twelve Diesel on my collar, fryer grease in my hair Radio low past the grain elevator Old song playin', miles draggin' like a chain Sorry for the hour, darlin', I know it's late You said don't rush, but I'm rushin' anyway Headlights at midnight, sweepin' down the road You're the light I'm drivin' home to Headlights at midnight, tired to my bones You're the light I'm drivin' home to Gravel's poppin', and the dog lifts his head Before I'm even at the bend You pull the quilt up, say you're almost sleepin' But that lamp's still burnin' in the window again You never ask me where the hours went Just a sleepy hand findin' my collar Headlights at midnight, sweepin' down the road You're the light I'm drivin' home to Headlights at midnight, my eyes are gettin' light You're the light I'm drivin' home to Them double shifts ain't for me, babe They're for the roof we're workin' toward For you and the life we're buildin' I won't forget what it costs you Stayin' up for a tired man's truck Headlights at midnight, turnin' up our road Engine's tickin', I'm just lookin' at that glow However late I'm runnin', that's where I'll be goin' Headlights at midnight, you're the light I'm drivin' home to
