lyrics

Sunrise

Well I made my peace with my old man
I knew his belt and I knew his hand
But he knew of a different hell
When a body starts to eat itself
And I loaded my bag into that crate
Took a trip across the USA

Praying
for the sunrise

Somewhere near the Texas line
My blood infused with old moonshine
A drifter hitched a ride with me
Had a box of pills and fake I.D.’s
We got loaded and we got low
Found ourselves locked up in Mexico

Praying
for the sunrise

I met a guard as tough as steel
Showed me how to grease the wheel
So I took up heading games of chance
Rolled the dice to the vast expanse
I bought some loaded to fix my luck
Get the upper hand and make a buck

Praying
for the sunrise

I soon found out the fix was in
His shine to me was wearing thin
With the price on my head taking shape
I started planning my escape
The gun was loaded, and he went down
I disappeared into the underground

Praying
for the sunrise
