The Only Light

(walt meskell, tim martin)



Just another texas bus stop

Texas never seems to end

On my seventh cup a' coffee

Waitress, hit me once again

Gotta date in colorado

With the woman in my life

I've seen enough of fairgrounds

An' singin' in the lights



'cause the only light i wanna see

Is the light that's in the eyes

Of the woman waitin' up for me again

Yeah, the only light i wanna see

Is a candle in the winda

An' the open door that she'll be standin' in



Driver says, "it's time, folks"

So we straggle back on board

Just me, a nun, two cowboys

An' a guy in back that snored

Been twenty-seven hours

Full a' anything but fun

An' over my right shoulder

There's an early-mornin' sun



But the only light i wanna see

Is the light that's in the eyes

Of a woman waitin' up for me again

Yeah, the only light i wanna see

Is a candle in the winda

An' the open door that she'll be standin' in



Goin' on forty hours

An' i've been too long alone

But it's only just a walk, now

Up the hill and then i'm home

I've seen too many bus stops

An' i've sung my share a' songs

But the spotlight only matters

When it's shinin' in my home



'cause the only light i wanna see

Is a light that's in the eyes

Of a woman waitin' up for me again

Yeah, the only light i wanna see

Is a candle in the winda

An' the open door that she'll be standin' in



[fade out]

Yeah, the only light i wanna see

Is the light that's in the eyes

Of a woman waitin' up for me again

Yeah, the only light i wanna see

Is a candle in the winda

An' the open door that she'll be standin' in



'cause the only light i wanna see

Is the light that's in the eyes

Of the woman waitin' up for me again

Yeah, the only light i wanna see...
