Lyrics:

I sleep to dream in this old house
Only wake for the night
The city’s queen and she holds me
Till the first sight of daylight

Trying to get through the breakdown
Find a way out of this town
Or in a lake of fire we’ll surely drown
That’s alright if you’re with me

And that’s why I’ll run
From the shine of the sun
That’s Stealing dark from the night sky

My heart is yours for the taking
If you want to take it
I know you’re scared you might break it
Girl, it's been breaking all my life

I’ve been running on empty
Like the ones here before me
And all this hurt our hearts are hauling
Hurts a little less each day

And that’s why we’ll run
From the shine of the sun
That’s Stealing dark from the night sky

And I held you close to me
Showed you where my heart would be
So when it came time again for me to leave
You'd be carrying a part of me

Let’s try to get through the breakdown
Find a way out of this town
Or in a lake of fire we’ll surely drown
But that’s alright if you’re with me

And that’s why we'll run
From the shine of the sun
Stealing dark from the night sky
For our lives we’ll run From the shine of the sun……..Stealing dark from the night sky

An Ohio singer/songwriter with a soulful, rootsy blend of country, rock, and folk, Arlo McKinley debuted in 2014 with his self-titled album. In 2020, he came to wider public attention with Die Midwestern, released on the late John Prine's Oh Boy label. Two years later, he issued This Mess We're In.

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, McKinley first began singing at age eight in the choir at his family's Baptist church. Growing up, he imbibed his Kentucky-born father's LPs, listening to artists like Hank Williams and George Jones, as well as Bob Dylan, Otis Redding, and Van Morrison. By his teens, he was playing guitar and singing in punk bands. However, in his twenties he began writing his own songs, gravitating toward rootsy country and soul sounds, mixing it with his varied rock influences. A troubled period involving drugs waylaid his career and found him moving away from music. For several years, he drove a truck delivering tuxedos between Cincinnati and Detroit. He eventually returned to songwriting and in 2014 released his debut album, Arlo McKinley & the Lonesome Sound. Hitting the road, he gained wider attention touring alongside roots luminaries like Tyler Childers, John Moreland, Jason Isbell, and Justin Townes Earle. In March 2020, he became the final artist signed by legendary singer/songwriter John Prine's Oh Boy Records label just before Prine's death that April. In August 2020, McKinley released his sophomore album and Oh Boy debut, Die Midwestern, recorded at Sam Phillips Recording Studio with Grammy-winning producer Matt Ross-Spang. 2022 saw the release of McKinley's third long-player, the inward-looking This Mess We're In.
