Grease pops hot on the flat top grill
Coffee pot sings sitting perfectly still
Regular Joe wants his eggs over light
I crack two shells as the night turns bright
Black coffee white lines stretch for miles
Desert heat shimmers in dusty piles
You keep the wheels turning on the grade
I keep the bacon hot on the plate
Eighteen wheels hum on the I-40 straight
Kingman fades slow in the mirror's flat face
Cactus shadows stretch long and thin
I check my logs and I check the wind
Bell dings sharp order up number three
Hash browns crisp golden as they can be
Pie slice waiting in the glass case row
Sweet as the sleep that you barely know
Black coffee white lines stretch for miles
Desert heat shimmers in dusty piles
You keep the wheels turning on the grade
I keep the bacon hot on the plate
Radio static cuts through the night
CB crackles out breaker one-nine
Ten hours left till the morning sun
Ten hours driving when day is done
Needles exit ramp glow amber red
Pull the jake brake slow the rig ahead
Glowing sign flickers eat here now
Counter stool waits let the tension go
Black coffee white lines stretch for miles
Desert heat shimmers in dusty piles
You keep the wheels turning on the grade
I keep the bacon hot on the plate
Black coffee white lines stretch for miles
We share the dawn in the desert miles
You keep the wheels turning on the grade
I keep the bacon hot on the plate
Coffee refill on the house tonight
Drive safe driver see you in the light
