There's a thousand stars that I could chase
A million hours I could waste
To wind up somewhere I don't wanna be
There's a house on a mile high mountain
The kinda money that you just quit countin'
That kinda thing don't do a thing for me
I should be climbing that ladder to the top
Should be pushing that limit non-stop
Wringing every last second out the clock
Overtime
But there's a train I need to catch
There's a fire that needs a match
There's a girl I need to sing to sleep tonight
There's a sweet sound runnin' round my head
Like a heartbeat in your chest
Calling me with a long, lonesome sound
I'll be steel wheels spinning and a sparkin'
Kerosene lantern just a-running through the darkness
Park this heart right where your heart is
And slow on down
I should be climbing that ladder to the top
Should be pushing that limit non-stop
Wringing every last second out the clock
Overtime
But there's a train I need to catch
There's a fire that needs a match
There's a girl I need to sing to sleep tonight
You are waiting
I'm anticipating
Holding, feelin'
Every breath you're breathing
I should be climbing that ladder to the top
Should be pushing that limit non-stop
Wringing every last second out the clock
Overtime
But there's a train I need to catch
There's a fire that needs a match
There's a girl I need to sing to sleep tonight
Sing to sleep tonight
Sing to sleep tonight
There's a girl I need to sing to sleep tonight
