Shadow on the Road Ahead

10 after 3 on a lonely night
Moon's coming out, something don't feel right
And I'm running down a long lonely road
Lord, I'm carrying a heavy load
And there's a shadow on the road ahead
There's a shadow on the road ahead

Up ahead I can't get by
Scared to move, but I've got to try
I'm a wanted man where I've been
Lord, I'm never goin' back again
But there's a shadow on the road ahead
I said shadow on the road ahead

Charged out burning in a reckless flight
Now I'm out here in the middle of the night
I couldn't stay there to see it through
I won't pay for things that I didn't do
Yeah, yeah
Yeah

Night fell down as I got in my car
Drove all night just to get this far
It's almost dawn, it's just not fair
One more turn and I'll make it there

Oh no, it just can't be
I see the trees reaching out for me
God, I'm sorry for what I've done
They're coming now and I've got to run

There's a shadow on the road ahead
There's a shadow on the road ahead

There's a shadow, there's a shadow
I see a shadow comin' out at me, yeah
Yeah hey
Come on and get me
Come on and get me
Yeah, yeah

Come on, see it now
Come and get me now
Come on, take it now
Come and get me now
Come on out now
I'll be ready now
I'm a dog now, baby
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no
Come on and get me
Come on, come on and get...
