The sky so black, black as my heart tonight.

The sky so black, black as my heart tonight.

Lord I'm tired and hungry,

A poor boy lost in the night.

I don't know, Lord, if I can make it after all.

No I don't know, Lord, if I can make it after all.

But I'm heading for a fall.

The highway is long, the night black, the stars bright.

Lord the highway's so long, night black, stars bright.

It's a long way to nowhere,

And I'm wondering tonight.

All it takes is a stumble

A sudden little fumble

Even a little tumble

To make me understand

That I've handled this heavy smothering load.
