Track Insight / Lyrics
I've been driving through the night
Scenic highways, starry skies
The world is dark, but I'm alright
Just me and this journey's disguise
But then I find my little heaven out here
Late-night diner, coffee's near
Strangers sharing secrets, stolen moments true
Fifty miles to dawn, but I'm feeling brand new
A waitress with a painted smile
Pouring coffee dark as time
Two truckers swapping stories old
The night's our friend, the world's on hold
But then I find my little heaven out here
Late-night diner, coffee's near
Strangers sharing secrets, stolen moments true
Fifty miles to dawn, but I'm feeling brand new
The neon signs cast colors bright
Against the dark, and I am light
In these stolen hours 'mid the night
I find what Makes life worth the fight
'Cause then I find my little heaven out here
Late-night diner, coffee's near
Strangers sharing secrets, stolen moments true
Fifty miles to dawn, but I'm feeling brand new
(Audience cheers as the trucker pays, rises to leave)
Fading conversation, distant hum of engines
Into the dawn, and the highway's Hungerauf
