Ninth Cloud

(الألبوم: American Heartbreak - 2022)

Look at me, so damaged and destroyed
With this world's plans and its ploys to take me out
I'm on a highway directly to the moon
With no plans on stopping soon
I'm leaving town

Them Christian's are talking so often of coffins
No Heavens could top this moment now

My foot out the window and my flask halfway full
I may have to pull over soon
I can't afford a motel, but the floorboards will work well
And I'll sleep there til tomorrow afternoon
And I'll get on the road again, had another chance at fitting in
Fitting in to kids like me is dying
And I know when I'm with you
After one shot or 22 and a cigarette
I feel like flying I'm flying

But them Christian's are talking so often of coffins
No Heavens could top this moment now
I've searched and I've found to get to that ninth cloud
You must trek through some dark and troubled grounds
So may we all
Just once or twice
Once in this life, just look around
Usually I'm a wreck
But the hard times were just a step
To get where I am on this ninth cloud

We're singing, feeling good again
Just passed 3:04 AM
And I'm talking like the sun will never rise
But the sun will crest the trees and bring this devil to his knees
As it outlines the silver in these skies

Them Christian's are talking so often of coffins
No heavens could top this moment now
I've searched and I've found to get to that ninth cloud
You must trek through some dark and troubled grounds
So may we all
Just once or twice
Once in this life, just look around
Usually I'm a wreck
But the hard times were just a step
To get where I am on this ninth cloud
