Midnight Workin' Blues

Lyrics

I keep my hands moving from the minute I rise Chopping wood in the dark or fixing what’s about to die Anything to keep my mind from drifting back to you ‘Cause it hurts too damn much when the memories come through I push it all down deep where the light don’t shine Tell myself I’m doing fine, but I know that’s a lie If I slow down for a second, if I let myself feel It’ll cripple me right here and I won’t be able to heal Chorus It’s times like these, when the work is all through And I’m sitting here alone with nothing left to do That the pain comes rushing in like a cold hard rain Living without you is driving me insane It’s times like these that are the hardest part Since the day that I lost you and you broke my heart I don’t know how people do it, how they make it through the night Maybe it gets easier… but it sure don’t feel right Verse 2 My whole world’s a mess, I’ve let everything go The job slipped away and the house is falling slow My health is shot to hell, I ain’t taking care like I should Everything I built is crumbling and it don’t feel good I feel like nobody gets it, the weight that I carry They see me walking around but they don’t see the scary Truth that I’m drowning and I don’t know how to swim And I don’t know how to move on from where I’ve been Bridge I keep pushing it back down every time it tries to rise Scared that if I let it out it’ll cut me down to size I don’t know how folks carry this kind of pain inside Maybe one of these mornings I’ll wake up and it won’t hurt to cry Final Chorus It’s times like these, when the house gets too quiet And there ain’t no more noise to drown out the silence That the hurt hits hardest right here in my chest Since I lost you, girl, and you took all the rest It’s times like these that are breaking me in two Living without you is all I seem to do I don’t know how people do it… maybe it gets easier someday But right now in these moments… I’m just trying to find my way
