Streetlights lyrics

[Verse 1]
Where's that angel with dirty knees
Who wasn't hard to please when we first met?
She don't act like she needs me now
And she don't even seem to be upset

[Verse 2]
Maybe I cover too much ground
I've been from town to town since I grew up
Could my dreams take up too much space?
I'll never find a place that's big enough

[Chorus]
And the chairs go up on the bar now
And the table lights go black
So I'll order one last double
And start calling people back

[Verse 3]
Mark sounds good, he's been working hard
He couldn't punch a card to save his life
Says he's glad that he quit the road
He says he's gettin' old, he missed his wife

[Verse 4]
Little Em's been asleep since nine
I'm sure she's doing fine, she always is
Dad won't answer his phone at night
But I guess that's alright, the place is his
[Chorus]
And the chairs are up on the bar now
And they're asking me to leave
So I'll give the girl a bill
And start rolling down my sleeves

[Verse 5]
In my pocket, directions back
Across the railroad tracks to where I crash
Maybe I should wave down a car
I won't be going far and I've got cash

[Verse 6]
I think I blocked just a park away
But I can't really say, it's been all night
How I wish you would call me here
But you just disappeared, it wasn't right

[Chorus]
And the streetlights help a little
But they're barely half-alive
And I don't feel much like walking
I sure as hell can't drive

[Verse 7]
Close your eyes and remember this
It won't be back again, it's almost gone
Even times that don't seem like much
Will be your only crutch when you're alone
[Verse 8]
Time moves slow when you're seventeen
And then it picks up steam at twenty-one
Pretty soon you'll remember when
You could remember when you loved someone
