lyrics

We've got every kind of reason to leave it all out on the line.
You were worried bout your futures when you met me in the night.
Your brother died in Baghdad.
Your daddy lost his mind.
Mama tried to hold it together,
but even she falls short sometimes.

You ain't no good in daylight
You're scared you ain't no good at all,
well, you and me are havenots, honey,
The Night can save our souls.

So what you gonna do, ma, what you gonna do?
You gonna strip me to my bones with your rhythm and your blues?
Reach inside of me and find everything I swore I'd lost?
You said I changed all my favorite clothes and lines,
well, you ain't wrong, I ain't been right, not since Jon got lost and died.

But if I'm bound to be a havenot
I'll give my young back to those city lights.
You and me are havenots, honey,
and we could own The Night.


So strap your long legs into my shotgun seat.
We're going out tonight to a BYO redemption party
with all the other havenots in a bowling alley parking lot
to consecrate ourselves into The Night once and for all.
