I put the keys on my dashboard
As she walked out of sight
And I just sat there dreaming
Inside each passing light

Now every night as the sun goes down
Her memory drags my heart around
Now every night as the sun goes down

Oh mama please shine on me
It's so dark and I can't see
The night's my hunger, my lonesome train
So just give me some light to ease my pain
So just give me some light to ease my pain

Now I'm no sailor
But I'm lost at sea
Just a poor, poor, poor boy
In a rusty ltd

Every night as the sun goes down
Her memory drags my heart around
Every night as the sun goes down

Oh mama, please shine on me
It's so dark and I can't see
The night's my hunger, my lonesome train
So just give me some light to ease my pain
Give me some light to ease my pain

I'm parked under your street light
I'm reaching for the stars
You took all the diamonds
And you left me with the scars

Oh mama, please shine on me
It's so dark and I can't see
The night's my hunger, my lonesome train
So just give me some light to ease my pain
Oh mama, please shine on me
It's so dark and I can't see
So just give me some light to ease my pain
Oh just give me some light to ease my pain
Oh give me some light to ease my pain
