Halfway Gone

[Verse 1] Neon buzzing through a motel blind

Cheap clock crawling like it lost its mind

Boots by the bed and keys in the tray

Whole world feels two towns away

I laugh too low at a joke gone cold

Countin new scars on an old soul

Every road sign says move along

But I've been halfway gone too long

[Chorus] I'm halfway gone, barely holdin'

Heart still beatin', wheels still rollin'

Night runs deep, dawn comes slow

I keep leavin' with nowhere to go

Halfway lost halfway laughing

Livin' somewhere between before and after

If tomorrow asks where I belong

Tell it I've been halfway gone

[Verse 2] Radio preacher says straighten out

Dashboard Jesus don't answer doubt

Rain taps time on a rusted hood

I'd turn around if I thought I could

Got bad luck folded in my coat

Three dead dreams and a farewell note

Still hummin' that crooked song

Like being broken keeps me strong

[Chorus] I'm halfway gone, barely holdin'

Heart still beatin', wheels still rollin'

Night runs deep, dawn comes slow

I keep leavin' with nowhere to go

Halfway lost halfway laughin'

Livin' somewhere between before and after

If tomorrow asks where I belong

Tell it I've been halfway gone

[Bridge] No halo, no grand mistake

Just one more mile for an old heart's sake

Let the blacktop choose where the headlights fall

Maybe nowhere ain't so bad at all

[Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] I'm halfway gone, barely holdin'

Heart still beatin', wheels still rollin'

Night runs deep, dawn comes slow

I keep leavin' with nowhere to go

Halfway lost, halfway laughing

Still surviving whatever keeps happenin'

If tomorrow asks where I belong

Tell it I've been halfway gone
