Cheri Knight

Light in the Road 

You're watching to see his headlights coming up the road 
Telling stories with your fingers crossed 
You're running I been told 
You say you never lie, I know you're raising cain 
Shouldn't have given you my own name 
For all Ive done, I could never break you 

Leftovers on a pile of dishes, wash them up and go 
You stay off of those dirty backroads I knew years ago 
Run off to your room 
Make sure it fits just right 
When he comes around I know some things coming down 

There's a light out in the road 
There's a light out in the road 
There's a light out in the road 
I know he's out there shining for you 

Slide all the way across the front seat 
Slide right into his 
You're waiting to feel his skin beneath your fingertips 
I have seen your hands run up and down his back 
I don't begrudge you the very thing I'm remembering 

(chorus) 

Shouldn't have given you my own name 
For all I've done I could never break you 

I walked up and over this place many years ago 
If their eyes should fall on this face they'd say I told you so 
But I recall the days when all it used to take
Was a whisper as I walked by
Kept this town in chains

(chorus)
