VERSE 1 They're cuttin' hours back, supervisor said Truck needs tires, pops needin’ cancer meds Mama's got tests comin' up next week My blood pressure’s up, ain’t gettin’ no sleep Bills stackin’ like firewood in December Some days it feels easier to just surrender CHORUS When my nights go to hell My prayers go to heaven When I’m in need of answers And all I have are questions Faith helps me hold on And let go of what I can't control When my nights go to hell Straight up…is the only place I can go VERSE 2 Phone started buzzin’ like a siren at two AM Before I even answered, I knew what it meant County hospital, said "you better get here now" Heart hit my shoes, man, I knew time was runnin’ out Sittin' in that hallway, saw the code blue light Hopin’ against hope, they could keep him alive CHORUS When my nights go to hell My prayers go to heaven When I’m in need of answers And all I have are questions Faith helps me hold on And let go of what I can't control When my nights go to hell Straight up…is the only place I can go BRIDGE Doctor stepped out and said Afraid I’ve got bad news Did everything we could He just didn’t pull through With those words My mind went numb I wanted to scream and run Phone in my pocket I unlocked it to call my mom But how do ya’ tell your mother That her husband’s gone CHORUS When my nights go to hell My prayers go to heaven When I’m in need of answers And all I have are questions Faith helps me hold on And let go of what I can't control When my nights go to hell Straight up…is the only place I can go OUTRO Some nights the answers never come Some wounds never fully heal But I've made it through enough storms To know His love is real Seen enough to know life’s never fair But if there’s one thing I know When my nights go to hell Straight up…is the only place I can go Yeah when my nights go to hell Straight up…is the only place I can go Straight up…is the only place I can go
