Songtext The only light C.W. McCall

The only light

(walt meskell, tim martin)

Just another texas bus stop
Texas never seems to end
On my seventh cup a coffee
Waitress, hit me once again
Gotta date in colorado
With the woman in my life
Ive seen enough of fairgrounds
An singin in the lights

cause the only light I wanna see
Is the light thats in the eyes
Of the woman waitin up for me again
Yeah, the only light I wanna see
Is a candle in the winda
An the open door that shell be standin in

Driver says, its time, folks
So we straggle back on board
Just me, a nun, two cowboys
An a guy in back that snored
Been twenty-seven hours
Full a anything but fun
An over my right shoulder
Theres an early-mornin sun

But the only light I wanna see
Is the light thats in the eyes
Of a woman waitin up for me again
Yeah, the only light I wanna see
Is a candle in the winda
An the open door that shell be standin in

Goin on forty hours
An Ive been too long alone
But its only just a walk, now
Up the hill and then Im home
Ive seen too many bus stops
An Ive sung my share a songs
But the spotlight only matters
When its shinin in my home

cause the only light I wanna see
Is a light thats in the eyes
Of a woman waitin up for me again
Yeah, the only light I wanna see
Is a candle in the winda
An the open door that shell be standin in

[fade out]
Yeah, the only light I wanna see
Is the light thats in the eyes
Of a woman waitin up for me again
Yeah, the only light I wanna see
Is a candle in the winda
An the open door that shell be standin in

cause the only light I wanna see
Is the light thats in the eyes
Of the woman waitin up for me again
Yeah, the only light I wanna see...
