We were born into a battle
We never got to choose
Every night that cigarette
Would burn down like a fuse
It would glow until it blow
And brother, hang on tight
I was raised up in that darkness
I'm still lookin' for the light
I poured the hurt into my music
Bourbon down my throat
Left me broken like the bottles
Bendin' like them roads
Once I thought I almost made it
I thought I'd be all right
No, she had to go
Leave me lookin' for the light
Oooohhhh
Oooohhhh
Oooooohhhhhh
Now I'm wonderin', wonderin'
Where this all will lead
With no more tears to cry
And no more blood to bleed
I could give in to this darkness
And who knows, someday I might
'Til then I'll keep on walkin'
Keep on lookin' for the light
