A Lifetime of Riding by Night Songtext
von Rhett Miller

We are the bastard sons of dust and decay
We are lost here in the hills
We are long past giving in to dismay
We are only seeking thrills
God it takes so much to thrill us anymore
We are chilled down to the bone
There are no noble causes left worth fighting for
We are only all alone

A lifetime of riding by night
Turns out it pays no dividends
Except in loneliness that never ends


One of us will wind up buried by a trail
With just a moon to keep a watch
Campfire gutters and ghosts begin to wail
We leave a cross made out of rocks

A lifetime of riding by night
Turns out it pays no dividends
Except in loneliness that never ends

A lifetime of riding by night
Turns out it pays no dividends
Except in loneliness that never ends

...Loneliness that never ends

...We are only all alone
