Lyrics

Bacon Brothers, The
 Can't Complain
 Light The Way
 Written by kevin bacon
 "it's about having the strength to re-define your life's work. a follow-up to 'guess again.'" kb
 Emma rae's riding on a north-bound train
 Spilling all that pain
 On the plains of dover
 Emma rae's crying from a hot cell phone
 She said she never felt so alone
 This time the dream is over
 Surely this is her darkest hour
 I've even heard her talk about a higher power
 Deep in her heart comes a tiny voice
 And it says "hold on momma,
 'cause you've got one last choice"
 Bring your dreams down to the river
 And let the water wash all your dreams away
 When the night comes, it will deliver
 Through the darkness, your heart is gonna light the way
 Old man standing on a soap box
 He's wearing wool socks
 On the hottest day all year
 Old man preachin' to the handful
 With a head full
 He says "the end is surely near"
 Now, who among you even cares?
 They're turnin' circles into squares
 But deep in his heart comes a tired voice
 And it says "hold on daddy,
 You've got one last choice"
 Bring your dreams down to the river
 And let the water wash all your dreams away
 When the night comes, it will deliver
 Through the darkness, your heart is gonna light the way
 Light the way, light the way
 Through the darkness, your heart is gonna light the way
 Light the way, oh light the way
 Through the darkness, your heart is gonna light the way
