[Verse 1]
Way past the last lighted sign
High-beams burning through the black dead of night
A boy is out picking on those last two strings
That's enough to make a few calls ring
Turn up the AM for a spell
Somebody shouting that the world's going to hell
I know things ain't sitting right
But I've been gone and I'm coming home tonight
[Chorus]
Get home safe now
Get home safe now
Get home safe now
There's danger, danger at every turn
(mhhm, mhhhm-mhhhm)
[Verse 1]
East to nothing, north to nowhere
A hundred miles from being halfway there
Look up at that slow and pretty moon
Soon enough I'll be back home with you
You said, "Get home, get home safe now
Come on back to me tonight
I'll be here and I'll be waiting
For you to leave that dangerous line"
[Chorus]
Get home safe now
Get home safe now
Get home safe now
There's danger (danger), danger (danger) danger (danger) danger at every turn
Danger
Daaanger, daaanger, daaanger, danger at every turn
[Instrumental break]
[Bridge]
A ticking clock knows what I don't
Lines on my face say what I won't
Rusty joints ain't slowing me none
Miles to go before we're done
[Outro]
Get home safe now
Get home safe now
Get home safe now
There's danger (danger), danger (danger) danger (danger) danger at every turn
