The red sun’s going down, I’ll be waiting up again
  Wondering where you are tonight
  Out with all your friends
  And I guess that you don’t think about
  The home you left behind
  But I’d give everything to get you out of my mind
  
  You thought a quiet ranch road
  Was good enough back then
  But now you need those city lights and bars to go sit in
  And I wonder where the old you goes
  When all the bars close down
  ‘Cause I can just listen to the crickets sing
  but you need the lights of town
  
  the lights of town are blinding you now
  you can’t even see
  that part of you you left behind
  when you walked out on me
  but when those city lights go dim
  and you’re left all alone
  I wonder if you could find your way back home
  
  You forget about the moon in a bar full of neon lights
  You can’t remember holding hands
  On chilly autumn nights
  And though it seems to you
  That the starts have lost their shine
  They’re glowing bright as ever darling
  Past the city limits sign
  
  Chorus
  
  In the middle of the night I sometimes watch the road
  I see the headlights move on past
  And I shiver from the cold
  By now the doors are locked downtown
  And still no sign of you
  The lights of town have broke the heart
  That loved you once so true
  
  Chorus
