In the darkness of my night
No one to turn to 'cept the morning light
Fill my temples full of sand
I'm just another lonely man
Walkin' straight on thru the night
See the temptress walk away from me
Even she won't give me the time of day
See the shadow cross the land
Take this pebble from my hand
Walkin' straight on thru the night
Met a waitress in a roadside joint
She was clever, straight to the point
She burned my coffee and sugared my eggs
She shook me right down to my legs
I wish she could've come along
And now I dedicate this song
Walkin' straight on thru the night
I wish she could have come along
Walkin' straight on thru the night
I wish she could have come along
Walkin' straight on thru the night
Highway take me somewhere else
Somewhere I can be myself
Stars illuminate this gloom
Cause I can't afford a room
So, I'm walkin' straight on thru the night
Straight on thru the night
Walkin' straight on thru the night
Straight on thru the night
Walkin' straight on thru the night
