Verse 1 The evening fell across the town Like a curtain coming down I had nowhere left to run Nowhere left but where I'm from The years went by like passing trains Leaving echoes, leaving names Some I lost and some I know Somewhere in the long ago Chorus Keep that old lamp burning low Keep that old lamp burning low I've been drifting through the dark so long Keep that old lamp burning low Verse 2 I've worn holes in these old shoes Chasing dreams I couldn't use Every answer that I found Only brought me back around Now the wind is at my back And the moon lights up the track I don't need much anymore Just a light outside the door Chorus Keep that old lamp burning low Keep that old lamp burning low I've been drifting through the dark so long Keep that old lamp burning low Bridge If tomorrow never comes If the road and I are done Let me leave this world behind With a little peace of mind Final Chorus Keep that old lamp burning low Keep that old lamp burning low I've been drifting through the dark so long Keep that old lamp burning low Keep that old lamp burning low Keep that old lamp burning low
