(written by Matt Andersen and Tom Wilson)

IT’S A HARD ROAD TO HOLD
GOT A HEAVY LOAD BEAR
AND I’M SO FAR GONE
THAT I COULD BE ANYWHERE
SHE SAID TELL ME WHERE TO FIND YOU
AND I’LL TURN THIS CAR AROUND
SO I’M WAITING BY THE COLD STEEL
‘TIL THOSE BURNIN’ LIGHTS
‘TIL THOSE BURNIN’ LIGHTS GO DOWN

AS THE DARKNESS FALLS
AND THE WINTER CALLS
THE WHISPER FILLS THESE EMPTY HALLS
I WALK AROUND MY HOTEL ROOM
LIKE A PHARAOH IN A GOLDEN TOMB
IT’S A HARD ROAD TO HOLD
IT’S A HARD ROAD TO HOLD
WHEN THE DAY IS DONE ANOTHER SETTING SUN
THE WINDS GET COLD AND THE SILENCE COMES
BLACK ICE FEVER FILLS MY VEINS
AND MY FACE GETS OLDER BUT NIGHT’S THE SAME

IT’S A HARD ROAD TO HOLD
I GOT A HEAVY LOAD TO BEAR
I GET SO FAR GONE
THAT I COULD BE ANYWHERE
SHE SAYS TELL ME WHERE TO FIND YOU
AND I’LL TURN THIS CAR AROUND
SO I’M LAYING BY THE COLD STEEL
THE BURNIN’ LIGHTS
THE BURNIN’ LIGHTS GO DOWN

OH THOSE BURNIN’ LIGHTS GO DOWN
WAY DOWN, WAY DOWN

IT’S A HARD ROAD TO HOLD
GOT A HEAVY LOAD OUT TO BEAR
I’M SO FAR GONE
THAT I COULD BE ANYWHERE
SHE SAYS TELL ME WHERE TO FIND YOU
AND I’LL TURN THIS CAR AROUND
SO I’M WAITING BY THE COLD STEEL
‘TIL THOSE BURNIN’ LIGHTS
‘TIL THOSE BURNIN’ LIGHTS GO DOWN
