Where The Night Goes Lyrics - Sermon On The Rocks - 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 yo 

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 

Photos 

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 that 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 

Only the lonely 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
