My hull remembers salt and foam
Now red dust paints my steel home
Gulls are gone just tumbleweed
Morning grill don't need no feed
Desert tug don't pull no more
Asphalt river hits the shore
Rust eats slow like bacon grease
Time serves up a cold release
Propeller buried deep in sand
Forgot the tug of ocean's hand
Highway roars like breaker waves
Cook shack silence fills the caves
Desert tug don't pull no more
Asphalt river hits the shore
Rust eats slow like bacon grease
Time serves up a cold release
Paint peels off in flaking strips
Like bacon rinds on greasy lips
Winch don't turn the cable's gone
Desert sun beats hot on dawn
Desert tug don't pull no more
Asphalt river hits the shore
Rust eats slow like bacon grease
Time serves up a cold release
Night shift ends but I don't clock
Stuck in gear and welded stock
Regulars were tide and moon
Now just heat and afternoon
Hubcaps shine on passing cars
Brighter than my faded stars
Order up the road don't wait
I'm a wreck that served my plate
Desert tug don't pull no more
Asphalt river hits the shore
Rust eats slow like bacon grease
Time serves up a cold release
Final order cold release
Engine done no more grease
