The Only Light Lyrics - C.w. Mccall

(Walt Meskell, Tim Martin) 

Just another Texas bus stop 

Texas never seems to end 

On my seventh cup a' coffee 

Waitress, hit me once again 

Gotta date in Colorado 

With the woman in my life 

I've seen enough of fairgrounds 

An' singin' in the lights 

'Cause the only light I wanna see 

Is the light that's in the eyes 

Of the woman waitin' up for me again 

Yeah, the only light I wanna see 

Is a candle in the winda 

An' the open door that she'll be standin' in 

Driver says, "It's time, folks" 

So we straggle back on board 

Just me, a nun, two cowboys 

An' a guy in back that snored 

Been twenty-seven hours 

Full a' anything but fun 

An' over my right shoulder 

There's an early-mornin' sun 

But the only light I wanna see 

Is the light that's in the eyes 

Of a woman waitin' up for me again 

Yeah, the only light I wanna see 

Is a candle in the winda 

An' the open door that she'll be standin' in 

Goin' on forty hours 

An' I've been too long alone 

But it's only just a walk, now 

Up the hill and then I'm home 

I've seen too many bus stops 

An' I've sung my share a' songs 

But the spotlight only matters 

When it's shinin' in my home 

'Cause the only light I wanna see 

Is a light that's in the eyes 

Of a woman waitin' up for me again 

Yeah, the only light I wanna see 

Is a candle in the winda 

An' the open door that she'll be standin' in 

[Fade out] 

Yeah, the only light I wanna see 

Is the light that's in the eyes 

Of a woman waitin' up for me again 

Yeah, the only light I wanna see 

Is a candle in the winda 

An' the open door that she'll be standin' in 

'Cause the only light I wanna see 

Is the light that's in the eyes 

Of the woman waitin' up for me again 

Yeah, the only light I wanna see...
