Don't forsake me
I ain't that far gone
I'm just like any man
That's been pushed too far
I've been walkin' the line
Ever since I can recall
Just once I'd like to lay my head down
Without any trouble at all

So turn off the lights
'Cause I can't dream tonight
Just go out cold, out cold

Will I kill another evening
Thinkin' 'bout times ahead
No hope or promise
Lordy, of an early bed
I can't change the weather
Well, I sure can't change the time
Just once I'd like to turn it off
And erase it from my mind

So turn off the lights
'Cause I can't dream tonight
Just go out cold
Wanna go out cold
So turn off the lights
Honey, I can't dream tonight
Just go out cold
Wanna go out cold
Go out cold, go old cold

Little voices in my head
Haunt me for the things I did
Oh, what to do?
'Cause I can't let go
A little time to reason
If I could find some time
Search for an answer
The questions that I know I'll never find

Turn off the lights
'Cause I won't dream tonight
Just go out cold, go out cold
So turn off the lights
'Cause I don't wanna dream tonight
Just go out cold
Wanna go out cold
Out cold, out cold, yeah

Can't afford to dream tonight
So, honey, just turn off the light
I wanna go out cold
Oh, go out cold, oh, go out cold
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't
I can't dream tonight, now
I won't be dreamin' tonight, yeah
Lordy, turn off the light, yeah
Come on!
