Damp roads glow in yellow light
Rubber hums throughout the night
Salty mist on metal skin
Where the heavy rhythms spin
Slick roads calling like a seed
Give me everything I need
Fast lane running through the vein
Wash away the winter stain
Monstera leaves in a glass
Watch the silver headlights pass
Syllables of shifting gears
Drown out all the quiet fears
Slick roads calling like a seed
Give me everything I need
Fast lane running through the vein
Wash away the winter stain
Calathea folds its green leaf
Speeding brings a sharp relief
Tires grip the wet concrete
Sensing every rhythmic beat
Slick roads calling like a seed
Give me everything I need
Fast lane running through the vein
Wash away the winter stain
Roots take hold in heavy clay
Chase the ghosts of yesterday
Oil spills look like peacock plumes
While the midnight engine booms
Shift the weight, feel the lean
Coldest air I have ever seen
No more waiting, no more slow
Only one direction to go
Patience grows in garden soil
Pressure turns the heat to boil Chlorophyll and gasoline
Turning gray to vivid green
Slick roads calling like a seed
Give me everything I need
Fast lane running through the vein
Wash away the winter stain
Hold the line.
Slick roads.
Drive it home.
