3AM South of Buffalo
I never felt cold so lonely
As that night on the highway
3AM south of Buffalo
No cars go either way
I hunger for that diesel sound
To hear them gears unwind
But all around the silence
Floats through them northern pines
3 AM south of Buffalo--------------------------- Chorus
I know where nowhere lies
Where fingers lose their feelin’
Man how’d I get so cold--(Spoken, in time, with feeling)
3 AM south of Buffalo
I’m feelin’ so damn old
The night is getting’ darker
Or is it just my eyes
Losing sight of countless stars
Am I about to die
A calm darkness surrounds me
A whisper in my ear
I would not abandon you
Your Savior’s always near
3 AM south of Buffalo--------------------------- Chorus
I know where nowhere lies
Where fingers lose their feelin’
Man how’d I get so cold
3 AM south of Buffalo
I’m feelin’ so damn old
Instrumental Break
I see a glow of light appear
At top of yonder hill
I feel it coming closer
My heart beats with a thrill
The car door opens quietly
A voice says climb in here
Jesus woke me from my sleep
To save one He holds dear
3 AM south of Buffalo--------------------------- Chorus
I know where nowhere lies
Where fingers lose their feelin’
Man how’d I get so cold
3 AM south of Buffalo
I’m feelin’ so damn old
Thank you Lord for savin’ me
I’m glad you have my soul
