Shut Out the Light

[00:04.40] The runway rushed up at him as he felt the wheels touch down
[00:11.15] He stood out on the blacktop and took a taxi into town
[00:18.44] He got out down on main street and went into a local bar
[00:25.84] He bought a drink and found a seat in a corner in the dark
[00:33.85] Well she called up her mama to make sure the kids were out of the house
[00:40.95] She checked herself out in the dining room mirror
[00:44.58] And undid an extra button on her blouse
[00:49.05] He felt her lying next to him, the clock said four a.m.
[00:56.22] He was staring at the ceiling
[00:59.47] He couldn't move his hands
[01:01.93] Oh mama mama mama come quick
[01:06.62] I've got the shakes and I'm gonna be sick
[01:10.34] Throw your arms around me in the cold dark night
[01:13.96] Hey now mama don't shut out the light
[01:18.17] Don't you shut out the light
[01:19.80] Don't you shut out the light
[01:21.68] Don't you shut out the light
[01:23.33] Don't you shut out the light
[01:27.32] Well on his porch they stretched a banner that said "Johnny welcome home"
[01:34.78] Bobby pulled his Ford out of the garage and they polished up the chrome
[01:42.59] His mama said "Johnny oh Johnny, I'm so glad to have you back with me"
[01:50.01] His pa said he was sure they'd give him his job back down at the factory
[01:57.71] Mama mama mama come quick
[02:01.66] I've got the shakes and I'm gonna be sick
[02:05.73] Throw your arms around me in the cold dark night
[02:09.47] Hey now mama don't shut out the light
[02:13.33] Don't you shut out the light
[02:15.26] Don't you shut out the light
[02:17.16] Don't you shut out the light
[02:19.09] Don't you shut out the light
[02:23.18] Well deep in a dark forest, a forest filled with rain
[02:30.57] Beyond a stretch of Maryland pines there's a river without a name
[02:38.18] In the cold black water now Johnson Leneir stands
[02:45.96] He stares across the lights of the city and dreams of where he's been
[02:53.53] Oh mama mama mama come quick
[02:58.12] I've got the shakes and I'm gonna be sick
[03:01.76] Throw your arms around me in the cold dark night
[03:05.65] Hey now mama don't shut out the light
[03:09.18] Don't you shut out the light
[03:11.15] Don't you shut out the light
[03:13.30] Don't you shut out the light
[03:14.83] Don't you shut out the light
[03:17.08] Don't you shut out the light
[03:18.93] Don't you shut out the light
[03:25.48]
