Lyrics to Moon Over Goldsboro
Moon Over Goldsboro Video:
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 lay down in the weeds

It was a real cold night

I was happy 'til 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 in to our small house

'til 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
