"Skyline Blues" lyrics

If I let go of this wheel
Will I break my way through the grey?
Will I fly off something different
Or in skyscraping shadows I stay?
Will Jesus take this wheel
And somehow turn the tide
Lord knows I've been trying
There's a darkness in me lights can't hide

The skyline sure looks pretty on nights like these
I'd say it was something if I could breathe and hold you close to me
I'm shaking head to my toes
It's been a hard row to hoe
Born under blue skies
High ridges not rises
And time here moves so slow

Skyline blues
Leave me no choice but to choose
To keep holding on
To the end of this song
Or get out of here while I can
And go be a better man

If I let go of this wheel
Will my tires find their way back?
Next to my woman, spark of my eye
She's everything I lack
I'll let go as fast as I can
Fuck all, I'm gone with the wind
Headed straight home
I'm done with alone
Get my soul back on the mend

Skyline blues
Leave me no choice but to choose
To keep holding on
To the end of this song
Or get out of here while I can
And go be a better man

A better man
