Lights are shining bright
It’s always downtown on the road
I have friends that come from outta town
Asking me to go
They say, “There’s so much going on
Why don’t you come along and show us around?”

I tell them Karen’s not feeling well
So I probably shouldn’t go out
Besides I’ve gotta fix a list of things
I need to do around the house
Then I hang up the phone
Turn the radio back on, and sit back down

Then I hang up the phone
Turn the radio back on, and sit back down
I know my boy ain’t here but he ain’t gone
In the mornings I wake up, give her a kiss, head to the kitchen
Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition
Go outside, sit by myself but I ain’t alone
I’ve got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost
Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition
Go outside, sit by myself but I ain’t alone
I’ve got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost
I’ve been beat up
I been pushed and shoved
But never ever really knocked down
Between mom and dad, Uncle Sam and friends
I somehow always pulled out
But the pain of this was more
Than I’d ever felt before, yeah I was broke
I been pushed and shoved
But never ever really knocked down
Between mom and dad, Uncle Sam and friends
I somehow always pulled out
But the pain of this was more
Than I’d ever felt before, yeah I was broke
I cried and cried and cried
Until I passed out on the floor
Then I prayed and prayed and prayed
Till I thought I couldn’t pray anymore
And minute by minute, day by day
My God, He gave me hope
Until I passed out on the floor
Then I prayed and prayed and prayed
Till I thought I couldn’t pray anymore
And minute by minute, day by day
My God, He gave me hope
I know my boy ain’t here but he ain’t gone
In the mornings I wake up, give her a kiss, head to the kitchen
Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition
Go outside, sit by myself but I ain’t alone
See, I’ve got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost
Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition
Go outside, sit by myself but I ain’t alone
See, I’ve got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost
I hope, I love, I pray, I cry
I heal a little more each day inside
I won’t completely heal till I go home
I heal a little more each day inside
I won’t completely heal till I go home
In the mornings I wake up, give her a kiss, head to the kitchen
Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition
Go outside, sit by myself but I ain’t alone
I’ve got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost
Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition
Go outside, sit by myself but I ain’t alone
I’ve got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost
One day I’ll wake up and I’ll be home
With the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost
With the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost
