Where the Night Goes
Josh Ritter

Heard the word from Brenda Lee

You were coming home she said

Cross my heart I could not believe it

Holy hell you could have struck me dead (but)

Three cheers for the grapevine (what)

Told me you were coming home


Let’s see where the night takes us

Let’s see where the night goes


I admit it’s been slow going

You pay your bills and still they own yuz

You know the way with best laid plans

Til this is me and that’s who I am (now)

I make the rounds and pay my dues

Meet up with friends and I dream about you.

It isn’t much but it’s still a lot

Sometimes honey I still get lost


In those long nights, old cars

Backroads and the boneyards

You dropped the pedal like a holy roller

Sheriff of hell couldn’t pull you over


Tough girl from the bad town

Brought up not to stay down

Sweet tea, white lightning

Breaking hearts and not minding


Come on in it’s so good to see ya

It’s been so long I know I know I…

Let’s see where the night takes us

Let’s see where the night goes…


Last I saw you was a’greyhound waiting

You said don’t be sad and don’t be blue

LA is not the destination

Still I believe I must pass through

I saw your face from a time to time

Now You’re coming home

Let’s see where the night takes us

Let’s see where the night goes…


Oh I only know the way I’m feelin’

Only the living go to the graveyard grieving


Still we’re alive and you’re astounding

Feel the pulse of the world pounding

Feel the pull of the American diverse

The mountains the rivers, the fields at harvest

It’s all we have and that’s a lot

Come on honey let’s get lost


In the long nights, old cars

Backroads and the boneyards

You dropped the pedal like a holy roller

Sheriff of hell couldn’t pull you over


Tough girl from the bad town

Brought up not to stay down

Sweet tea, white lightning

Breaking hearts and not minding


Come on in it’s so good to see ya

It’s been so long I know I know I…

Let’s see where the night takes us

Let’s see where the night goes…


In the long nights, old cars

Backroads and the boneyards

You dropped the pedal like a holy roller

Sheriff of hell couldn’t pull you over


Tough girl from the bad town

Brought up not to stay down

Sweet tea, white lightning

Breaking hearts and not minding


Come on in it’s so good to see ya

It’s been so long I know I know I…

Let’s see where the night takes us

Let’s see where the night goes…


A long night,

The old car

The Backroads

And the boneyards
