Track Insight / Lyrics
Rocking on the porch swing, keepin' secrets as they pass
Rustic twilight shadows creep, crickets' lullaby's last
The gravel driveway crunches slow, neon signs maybe an hour agone
I sip coffee, countin' tips, and think 'bout life untold
Amid the regulars, waitin' tables, spillin' drinks and charms
The diner's my hideaway, I know all your telltale arms
Pole dancing, late night talks, erasickened photos in the stack
Every word's in my memory, every laugh's like a snap
Oh, the roads that paved our ways, all the rhymes I still recall
Gravel on the driveway fades, now it's just a memory wall
Neon legends, fading fast, how did time go by so fast?
In the diner's mirrored night, I'll replay it all
Back when love was easier, than a souped-up jalopy's gear
Candlelit kisses in my '68, when another heart was near
Mississippi rivers wide, dixie dreams and nightlife collide
We chased them sparks through city sounds, until the break of night
Now the neon signs are dim, the diner's on the decline
DJ's moved their beats downtown, left the locals in a line
Oh, the roads that paved our ways, all the rhymes I still recall
Gravel on the driveway fades, now it's just a memory wall
Neon legends, fading fast, how did time go by so fast?
In the diner's mirrored night, I'll replay it all
The years keep speeding by, our tales forever in the night
Replaying diner rhymes like a jukebox, under neon lights
Oh the roads that paved our
ways all the rhymes I still recall
Gravel on the driveway fades, now it's just a memory wall
Neon legends, fading fast, how did time go by so fast?
In the diner's mirrored night, I'll replay it all
Diner grind hums, my night's done, counted tips in my till
Rocking slow to closing time, as gravel crunches, whispers still
