Moon Over Goldsboro

I went down to the gas station
 For no particular reason
 Heard the screams from the high school
 It's football season
 ♪
 Empty lot the station faces
 Will probably be there forever
 I climbed over the four-foot fence
 I was trying to sever the tether
 Moon in the sky
 ♪
 Cold as a stone
 Spend each night in your arms
 Always wake up alone
 ♪
 I laid down in the weeds
 It was a real cold night
 I was happy 'till the overnight attendant
 Switched on the floodlight
 ♪
 Walking home, I was talking to you under my breath
 Saying things I would never say directly
 I heard a siren on the highway up ahead
 Kinda wished they'd come and get me
 Frost on the sidewalk
 
 White as a bone
 Tried to get close to you again
 Always wake up alone
 And as I was crossing our doorstep
 I hesitated just a moment there
 ♪
 Remembered the day we moved into our small house
 'Till the vision got too vivid to bear
 ♪
 You were almost asleep
 Halfway undressed
 I lay right down next to you
 Held your head against my chest
 ♪
 And a guy with any kind of courage
 Would maybe stop to think the matter through
 Maybe hold you still and raise the question
 Instead of blindly holding onto you
 But we crank up the heat
 
 And you giggle and moan
 Spend all night in the company of ghosts
 Aways wake up alone
