Track Insight / Lyrics
You park the bird where diesel fumes rise
Rain slicks the pavement to mirror skies
Thruster ports hiss in the sodium bath
Radio crackles a weather path
Meter reads zero but time keeps its toll
Clock on the dash marks the hour whole
You check each gauge with a calloused thumb
Knowing the road hums beneath the drum
Crossroads mercury paints the windshield bright
Steel bird dreams quiet through the night
Thrusters sleep warm in the station shade
Dawn breaks slow on the promises made
Old dispatcher voice rides the static wave
Clear skies eastbound, boy, be brave
You sip the bitter, let warmth spread deep
Promises made are yours to keep
Crossroads mercury paints the windshield bright
Steel bird dreams quiet through the night
Thrusters sleep warm in the station shade
Dawn breaks slow on the promises made
Wiper blades sleep on the curved glass nose
Tires remember every road they chose
Hammond hums low from the shop next door
Life's a fare paid, then you ask for more
Key turns soft in the ignition well
Engine wakes with stories to tell
Pressure builds clean in the fuel lines bright
Crossroads fades in the rearview light
Wheels kiss tarmac, you leave the ground
Crossroads shrinks to a mercury mound
Radio plays that old taxi song
Home is wherever the wheels belong
Crossroads mercury paints the windshield bright
Steel bird dreams quiet through the night
Thrusters sleep warm in the station shade
Dawn breaks slow on the promises made
Bass line fades slow like rain on hot tin
Crossroads mercury paints the windshield bright
