HEADING FOR THE LIGHT- The Traveling Wilburys

      
                                             
I've wandered around with nothing more than time on my hands
                                 
I was lost in the night with no sight of you
                                 
And at times it was so blue and lonely
                      
Heading for the light

Been close to the edge, hanging by my fingernails
I've rolled and I've tumbled through the roses and the thorns
And I couldn't see the sign that warned me, I'm
Heading for the light

CHORUS #1:
riff                                             
     Ooh, I didn't see that big black cloud hanging over me
riff                                 
     And when the rain came down I was nearly drowned
                                
I didn't know the mess I was in

My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change
And I get the strangest feeling, as I'm
Heading for the light ...SOLO

CHORUS #2:
Ooh, my hands were tied by jokers and fools on either side
But still I kept on till the worst had gone
Now I see the hole I was in

REPEAT THIRD VERSE

I see the sun ahead, I ain't never looking back
All the dreams are coming true as I think of you
Now there's nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light
                                                           
Now there's nothing in the way to stop me, heading for the light
