[Verse 1]
I left my porch light dying
On the edge of the town
Ribs full of moonshine hunger
Dust on my black silk gown
Headlights cut the cypress
Like a knife through the rain
I been good at leaving
But tonight I call your name
[Pre-Chorus]
If I cross that line
Will I lose my soul?
If I turn back now
Will I stay this cold?
[Chorus]
Let the night confess
Let the road answer
(I’m still coming)
Let the night confess
Let the road answer
(I’m still hungry)
[Verse 2]
Your shadow in the mirror
Got my blood in a knot
Every mile I take from you
I want you more than I ought
Church bell in the distance
Sounding like a warning sign
I can taste your trouble
Like old red wine
[Pre-Chorus]
If I kneel for mercy
Will it hold me fast?
If I beg for heaven
Will you be my past?
[Chorus]
Let the night confess
Let the road answer
(I’m still coming)
Let the night confess
Let the road answer
(I’m still hungry)
[Bridge]
[Half-time, voice bare and low]
I can hear the thunder
Calling me by name
I can hear your breathing
Burning through the rain
I was born for wandering
Born to break and mend
If I find you waiting
Will I flee again?
[Final Chorus]
Let the night confess
Let the road answer
(I’m still coming)
Let the night confess
Let the road answer
(I’m still hungry)
Let the night confess
Let the road answer
(Say my name)
Let the night confess
Let the road answer
(I’m still not free)
