In The Clear

Well, here I am pulled over now
Just crying on the shoulder
Down the road that I've been driving on for days
So I aim my moral compass
But it's spinning like a wheel
And you could take that many different ways

I've had days as black as nighttime
And nights that lasted years
I spent a thousand hours on my knees
Broke down and started praying
But I was pleading with the wind
Just to never feel the difference in the breeze

They say heaven knows the road is slow
Lord, how the hell would heaven know?
Just where am I supposed to go from here?
How much longer now before I'm in the clear?

Every mile I turned over flashes by a little slower
And I guess I better find a place to stay
'Cause the lightning in the distance
And the thunderheads roll by
And the morning seems to hurry far away

When the fog lifts off the valley where the half moon hides a halo
Beneath the veil of silver linen haze
Maybe then I'll journey onward with the darkness in my eyes
While I'm holding on to hopes of brighter days

They say heaven knows the road is slow
Lord, how the hell would heaven know?
Just where am I supposed to go from here?
How much longer now before I'm in the clear?

They say heaven knows the road is slow
Lord, how the hell would heaven know?
Just where am I supposed to go from here?
How much longer now before I'm in the clear?
