Chasing The Light (Album Version) - Mat Kearney

Lyrics by：Jason Lehning/Robert Marvin/Mat Kearney/Josh Crosby

Composed by：Jason Lehning/Robert Marvin/Mat Kearney/Josh Crosby

Every bridge that you keep on burnin'

Every leaf that you keep on turnin'

Every road that you find uncertain

Pray for you now

Baby that you'll figure it out

As you keep

Chasing the light

Remember back when you slept on my floor

Blowup mattress down by the door

10 pounds heavier from wasted time

We didn't know we were way out of line

From the moment that you

Popped out on the scene

Hard to know what you got or you're meant to be

Everything that you know goes flying

From Jonny O's coach to a gypsy bus island

Holding hands with people in life

Till they walk away saying no goodbyes

And you keep saying that you're running down a dream

But you don't know where it leads

As you keep chasing the light

Every bridge that you keep on burnin'

Every leaf that you keep on turnin'

Every road that you find uncertain

Pray for you now

Baby that you figure it out

Every hope and dream that's dyin'

Every time that I see you cryin'

Every step that you keep on climbin'

Pray for you now

Baby that you figure it out

As you keep

Chasing the light

Got the call that you sent out yesterday

40 lines and a fallout holiday

On my knees with the weight that was mine

Think about you when I'm driving at night

Familiar sounds and it takes me right back there

Bridge Street and the beat in the summer air

Was it easier to wash you feet

And never deal with the hell that a young boy sees

Where liquor runs thicker than blood

On your own when push came to shove

Before we had these mouths to feed

With innocent dreams while you keep

Chasing the light

Every bridge that you keep on burnin'

Every leaf that you keep on turnin'

Every road that you find uncertain

Pray for you now

Baby that you'll figure it out

Every hope and dream that's dyin'

Every time that I see you cryin'

Every step that you keep on climbin'

Pray for you now

Baby that you figure it out

As you keep

Chasing the light

Remember hearing Dylan's first songs first

Remember writing down a train wreck verse

We were running Franklin High School lights

Burning alive in a Chevrolet night

Remember driving out to Salton Sea

Dreaming 'bout all we thought we'd be

One-way tickets into southern lights

Slammed the door and said goodbye goodbye

Every bridge that you keep on burnin'

Every leaf that you keep on turnin'

Every road that you find uncertain

Pray for you now

Baby that you'll figure it out

Every hope and dream that's dyin'

Every time that I see you cryin'

Every step that you keep on climbin'

Pray for you now

Baby that you figure it out

As you keep

Chasing the light
