Black night down heavy on my weary brow Light shining in the pouring rain Can see somehow cold comfort in the broken trees But I won't let it bring me to my knees I'm not flying, but I'm not drowning now Keep driving, don't matter if the highway's lost Keep running, never turn your head Count the cost ghost waiting where the roads all cross Big deal waiting when you get to meet the boss Clouds are breaking, I'm not drowning now, drowning now Flying, but I'm not drowning now Sad old man smiling with a shameful grin He thinks that we never can lose Never beat the dealer when he cuts the pack First back to front, then deal front to back Now I'm flying, I'm not drowning now, drowning now
