Ride in Daylight

Title: Ride in Daylight

Verse 1

You stand on a hill

Look down on the town

Filled with family and friends

You find yourself dancing

The only song that you've ever known

The night filled with music

Is all you hear

As a freight train rolls by

But it never stops here

It seems like nothing ever changes

You feel safe around here

Verse 2

But everything is always changing

Some things have already changed

Outlaws aren't heroes

Fast horses and hideouts

Don't protect them from pain

Drunk women make poor lovers

The fast life leaves only zeros

Too many crosses stand where dreams once rode

Here on the top of this hill

Chorus

From families of outlaws

That's where you begin

As the sun rises

Will you follow the leader?

Will you ride a new path?

It's now your choice

Will you listen

To those who never did?

Ride in daylight

Feel the sun's heat

Sleep in late night

Find what you need

Kill the bad seed

Verse 3

Rough roads and roadblocks

Hinder your way

No compass

No road maps

To show you the way

Ride hard from the darkness

Stay in the sunlight

Sleep in the moonlight

Bridge

Such a story

Is this all real?

You open your eyes

The ride is lonely

You feel hungry

Cold and alone

Inside your head

You hear the outlaws

Calling you back home

Chorus

Ride in daylight

Feel the sun's heat

Sleep in late night

Find what you need

Kill the bad seed

Verse 4

Ride on

Ride on

Just when you have nothing

The music has all died

Riding to nowhere

You come to the place

You cut the thorns

Clear your own space

You stay here

Through the hard times

A spring with clear water

The land of new legends

You're living them now

Someday they'll be told

Outro

Someday someone

Will find you

And feel the same way

Because you made this place

Now when the darkness

Tries to come in

The sunlight

Keeps it away
