Lyrics
Forty miles of nothing but the stars And a gas gauge leaning on the red Then a glow comes up behind the hill Pink as a promise, pink as something said Half the letters in that neon dead But the vacancy still blinks for me An old man at the desk, a sleeping dog He hands me down a key Burning pink in the desert black A light that says you can turn back Burning on for the lost and the late For the ones who still believe in second chances Last motel sign, burning pink Room eleven smells like dust and rain There's a Bible and a broken clock But the bed is warm and the roof is sound And the sign hums soft outside the lock Burning pink in the desert black A light that says you can turn back Burning on for the lost and the late For the ones who still believe in second chances Last motel sign, burning pink I've run from every town that knew my name Hid inside the miles and the hum But a light left on is a hand held out And tonight I think I'll take it, and stay till morning comes Burning pink in the desert black A light that says you can turn back Burning on for the lost and the late For the ones who still believe in second chances Last motel sign, burning pink Burning pink Burning pink
