Track Insight / Lyrics
Freightliner prowls the highway, v-8 humming low
Coastline stretches dark and misty, rain-brushed neon glow
Cab's worn vinyl creaks my bones
musk of worn tires fills the air
Cassette's voicebox whispers secrets, miles and miles without a care
Headlights cut through lacey curtains, bayou secrets keep
A lonely howl pierces the night, ghost of misty sleep
Oh, out here, I find my peace, in bayou's twilight hush
Where cypress trees loom sentinels, and stars like diamonds rush
My truck's a steady heartbeat, rhythm to the night
Windows wide to starry silence, where the world takes flight
Truckers' voices crackle static, tales of far-off places, full of zest
A tale of lost love a
tale of fire tales of endless west
But I know where I'm bound tonight, this porch and the gulf's soft sigh
Rain's sweet lullaby's the only song, that reaches my tired eyes
Radio's hum a steady drone, as diesel engine roars
The world outside recedes to mist, as CB clicks and bores
But I press slow foot to the pedal, pace of the freight cars' wheels
Toward this porch where I'll rest tonight, the bayou's ancient guardian feels
Oh, out here, I find my peace, in bayou's twilight hush
Where cypress trees loom sentinels, and stars like diamonds rush
My truck's a steady heartbeat, rhythm to the night
Windows wide to starry silence, where the world takes flight
Gears disengage with a sigh, motor's purr fades into the night
Flickering neon falters, raindrops like diamonds cut the light
Porch creaks under weary weight, my hat brimmed to conceal the face
In this cypress-guarded twilight, I'll let the bayou take its place.
