When you wake up in the morning and you ask yourself
Does it even matter if I exist at all?
If I'm going through the motions and my better days have passed
Should I even stick around,
do I have the wherewithal?
You thought that you were destined to conquer anything
Put yourself into the thickness and the joy the chaos brings
Swing at every fastball and knock it out the park
Explode the lights in fury,
Billy Ringo in the dark
Explode the lights in fury,
Billy Ringo in the dark
Life came down upon you with the weight of fallen worlds
The sound of screaming dogs in the silence,
fetal curl
No drink or pain reliever,
yet afford a smile relief
From the night sweats in the morning,
after dreams and bitter sleep
The night sweats in the morning,
after dreams and bitter sleep
You
wake up in the morning and you travel through your day
And you laugh at all the good jokes,
not so long they go your way
It's good for the evening,
for some drinks and smokes with friends
But leave them with a smile as you walk back home again
Leave them with a smile as you walk back home again
So light the candles slowly for the shadows they will cast
Leave unanswered questions for other folks to ask
Escape the burdens looming and answers bold and stark
In the first new dawn of sunlight,
Billy Ringo in the dark
In the first new dawn of sunlight,
Billy Ringo in the dark
In the first new dawn of sunlight,
Billy Ringo in the dark
