Headlights and Hindsight
Scott Tyler
© scotttylersongs 2008

I never thought the world could tilt so quickly
I thought I had a friend in old man gravity
But lately I’ve been reaching but still I’m slipping
Slipping off the edge of what I thought might keep me in

Well the moon’s ahead and the sun’s behind
They’re staring down these broken lines
I've got headlights and hindsight tonight

Was I a fool to think that there was a firmer ground
Should I have grabbed a hammer and nailed my feet down
Should I have tied myself up to the oak tree
Or would security have ended up hanging me

Well the moon’s ahead and the sun’s behind
They’re staring down these broken lines
I've got headlights and hindsight tonight
The wheels spin, we go so fast
Got time for just second glances
Headlights and hindsight tonight
I’ve got headlights and hindsight tonight

Oh my God, it seems so long
Since I’ve had to just hold on
Potholes, crooked roads
Oh My God, I gotta let her go
gotta let her go

Take comfort in this bed I’ve slept in often
But sleep escapes my eyes, I can’t keep from coughing
There’s terror in the air the wind cried all night
And the dust of devils running through this moonlight

Well the moon’s ahead and the sun’s behind
They’re staring down these broken lines
I've got headlights and hindsight tonight
The wheels spin, we go so fast
Got time for just second glances
Headlights and hindsight tonight
I’ve got headlights and hindsight tonight
