Tires hum on the black wet floor
Engine screams for a little more
Salty spray on a metal skin
Where the midnight race will begin
Sprinting fast through the sodium glare
Cold salt wind in the heavy air
Tires hum on the damp night road
Carry on with a heavy load
Tarweed clings to the concrete edge
Growing wild on a granite ledge
Latin names for the roadside weed
Racing fast at a frantic speed
Sprinting fast through the sodium glare
Cold salt wind in the heavy air
Tires hum on the damp night road
Carry on with a heavy load
Saturated soil in the ditch
Switching lanes with a sudden twitch
Piston beat like a steady drum
Until the tired senses go numb
Plant your feet in the heavy clay
Wait for light of a different day
Hold the line while the rubber burns
Sharpest angle on the hardest turns
Steel and glass in a blur of grey
Chasing ghosts of a yesterday
Oil spills like a dark black bloom
Cutting through the industrial gloom
Sprinting fast through the sodium glare
Cold salt wind in the heavy air
Tires hum on the damp night road
Carry on with a heavy load
Sowing seeds in the highway grit
Where the broken headlights are lit
Roots will push through the hard cement
Until the midnight fuel is spent
Sprinting fast through the sodium glare
Cold salt wind in the heavy air
Tires hum on the damp night road
Carry on with a heavy load
Asphalt root in the midnight rain
Drive it home till you feel no pain
(Gang vocal claps)
Drive it home!
