Take Me Home to the Red Light

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Sixty miles of blacktop

I don't know which turn I missed

Somewhere past the county line

My map turned into mist

The signs all point to nowhere

The fog is thick as wool

I keep driving past the same dead tree

And I feel something pull

Pre-Chorus

My hands are cold

My radio sings a song I know

But the words come out all wrong

Chorus

Take me home

Take me home

Where the red light hums and the fryer sings

Take me home

Take me home

My heart is a burger on a broken grill

(Do-wah do-wah)

(Do-wah do-wah)

Take me home

Verse 2

The moon hangs like a swollen eye

Watching where I crawl

Every mile marker has my name

Scratched across the wall

I passed a diner boarded shut

I passed a field of crows

Something in the rearview grins

And tells me where to go

Pre-Chorus

The engine coughs

A choir hums from underneath the hood

Singing soft and understood

Chorus

Take me home

Take me home

Where the red light hums and the fryer sings

Take me home

Take me home

My heart is a burger on a broken grill

(Do-wah do-wah)

(Do-wah do-wah)

Take me home

Bridge

Bum bum bum bum

Bum bum bum bum

I have wandered wandered wandered

Through the weeping through the wires

Every shadow every siren

Every stranger made of fire

Bum bum bum bum

Lead me lead me lead me

To the glowing glowing sign

Guitar Solo

Breakdown

I am lost

I am found

I am crawling

I am bound

Down the road

Round the bend

I will find it

In the end

Chorus

Take me home

Take me home

Where the red light hums and the fryer sings

Take me home

Take me home

My heart is a burger on a broken grill

(Do-wah do-wah)

(Do-wah do-wah)

Take me home

Outro

(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
