Track Insight / Lyrics
Wood remembers fingers, cold and light
Varnish cracked by desert noon
Concrete ribs hold up the night
Shade's a blessing, shade's a boon
Heat bakes the glue, but joints hold fast
Horse hair bow sings through the past
Every fare leaves something behind
Driver knows the desert mind
Bridge and bow, bridge and bow
Shelter where the four-lane go
Strings don't break, they just remember
Old cab rolling through November
Case sits upright on the floor
Meter stopped but wheels want more
Driver hums a lowdown tune
Dust devils dance beneath the moon
Heat bakes the glue, but joints hold fast
Horse hair bow sings through the past
Every fare leaves something behind
Driver knows the desert mind
Bridge and bow, bridge and bow
Shelter where the four-lane go
Strings don't break, they just remember
Old cab rolling through November
Cracks in varnish map the years
Like the lines the driver wears
Pothole jolts, a sudden stop
Bridge holds firm above the top
Bridge and bow, bridge and bow
Shelter where the four-lane go
Strings don't break, they just remember
Old cab rolling through November
Radio plays static blues
Driver sings the midnight news
Case stays shut but wood breathes deep
Promises the driver keeps
Bridge and bow, bridge and bow
Shelter where the four-lane go
Strings don't break, they just remember
Old cab rolling through November
Sunrise paints the concrete gold
Stories that the wood has told
Driver tips his hat, moves on
Violin sings past the dawn
Bridge and bow, bridge and bow
Shelter where the four-lane go
Strings don't break, they just remember
Old cab rolling through November
Bridge and bow, we endure
Wood and steel, steady, sure
Meter drops. Fare is paid.
Shade holds the music that we made.
