Whatever Gets You Through the Night

Bad cups of coffee, old Haggard songs
A rolled-down window on a road that’s too damn long
A blur of broken white lines and flashing neon signs
Truck stops off the highway where the waitress wears a smile
In case you haven’t seen one at home in quite a while
It all comes down to whatever gets you through the night
Another cheap motel room with the curtains drawn
You like the conversation so you leave the TV on
Read the Bible on the nightstand looking for a little light
Kill a couple beers, and it that doesn’t work
That smooth Kentucky bourbon will burn 'til it don’t hurt
It all comes down to whatever get you through the night
I guess that’s why you’re calling, 'cause tonight you need a friend
Or at least someone to hold you, someone who understands
When it comes to bein' lonely, there ain’t no wrong or right
Whatever gets you through the night
The key’s in the mailbox, the porch light is on
I know I’ll fall apart in the morning when you’re gone
When it comes to bein' lonely, there ain’t no wrong or right
Whatever gets you through the night
