Ninth Cloud

Look at me, so damaged and destroyed

With this world's plans and its ploys to take me out

I'm on a highway directly to the moon

With no plans on stoppin' soon, I'm leavin' town

Them Christian's are talkin' so often of coffins

No heavens could top this moment now

My foot out the window and my flask halfway full

I may have to pull over soon

I can't afford a motel, but the floorboards'll work well

I'll sleep there 'til tomorrow afternoon

Then I'll get on the road again, had another chance at fittin' in

But fittin' in to kids like me is dyin'

But I know when I'm with you, after one shot or 22

And a cigarette, I feel like I'm flyin'

Them Christian's are talkin' so often of coffins

No Heavens could top this moment now

I've searched and I've found to get to that ninth cloud

You must trek through some dark and troubled grounds

So may we all just once or twice

Once in this life, just look around

Usually I'm a wreck, but the hard times were just a step

To get where I am on this ninth cloud

We're screamin', feelin' good again

Just passed 3:04 a.m.

I'm talkin' like the sun will never rise

But the sun will crest the trees and bring this devil to his knees

As it outlines the silver in these skies

Them Christian's are talkin' so often of coffins

No heavens could top this moment now

I've searched and I've found to get to that ninth cloud

You must trek through some dark and troubled grounds

So may we all, just once or twice

Once in this life, just look around

'Cause usually I'm a wreck, but the hard times were just a step

To get where I am on this ninth cloud

Look at me, so damaged and destroyed

With this world's plans and its ploys to take me out

I'm on a highway directly to the moon

With no plans on stoppin' soon, I'm leavin' town
