Come On Darkness Lyrics

I just might make it home alive

If I could only stay awake

If I can just make Jackson County

A hundred miles, give or take

I'm running like a mad man

Don't know why I don't know how

Everything that led me here

Means nothing to me now

Come on darkness

Come on sleep

I've been making promises

I can't keep

Come on darkness

Bring your peace to me

Come on darkness

Come on sleep

Bring your peace to me

I'm going home

I'm not guilty of the crime

That brought me to this time

But they know I've done some other things 


I guess they couldn't prove

Now it's one hand on the bible

Or two hands in the air

Blue lights and broken promises

And no one left to care

Come on darkness

Come on sleep

I've been making promises

I can't keep

Come on darkness

Bring your peace to me

Come on darkness

Come on sleep

Bring your peace to me

I'm going home

There's years I don't remember

There's nights I can't forget

There's ghosts I thought I'd left behind

I haven't seen the last of yet

I can hear 'em call my name sometimes

And banging on my door

They're looking for the man I was

He don't live here anymore

Come on darkness

Come on sleep

I've been making promises

I can't keep

Come on darkness

Bring your peace to me

Come on darkness

Come on sleep

Bring your peace to me

I'm going home
