Red Lights And Neon lyrics

I hope you don`t mind if I
Rest inside your door
Please forgive the snowy footprints
I`m tracking on your floor.
I only want to stop and rest
Don`t want to start no fight.
I`ll just wait here for a while
`Till the police car`s out of sight.

For as long as I remember
I`ve hated those red lights
And hotel rooms with plaster walls
And loud and lonely nights.
It seems like I`ve been on this road
Ever since I was a kid
I could tell if I was sorry
If I remembered what I did.

A wanted man in New Orleans
Matches my description.
Mister druggist please be kind enough
To refill my prescription.
If I had to do it over
This ain`t the life I`d choose
But the road still runs and so do I
And at least I made the news.

And the streetlights never waver
And the red lights never dim
And the neon always glitters
And it was better me than him
