Track Insight / Lyrics
West Texas breath, a sun-bleached bone,
Empty highways where the wild winds moan.
A silver glint on cracked asphalt ground,
Lost stories whispered, without a sound.
Old man Hemlock, hands on the wheel,
Seen a lifetime, how fortunes feel.
Lubbock skyline, a faded hue,
Another fare, another story true.
Dust and chrome, a lonely ride,
Across the plains, where dreams collide.
Empty spaces, vast and wide,
West Texas heart, with nowhere to hide.
Radio static, a crackling plea,
For a signal lost, for memory.
A cottonwood whispers, a weary sigh,
Beneath the endless, turquoise sky.
Dust and chrome, a lonely ride,
Across the plains, where dreams collide.
Empty spaces, vast and wide,
West Texas heart, with nowhere to hide.
She left him standing, beneath the mesquite,
Promised forever, a bittersweet deceit.
He chased her shadow, across the sand,
A broken promise, in this barren land.
Dust and chrome, a lonely ride,
Across the plains, where dreams collide.
Empty spaces, vast and wide,
West Texas heart, with nowhere to hide.
These cracked leather seats, they hold the key,
To every heartbreak, for all to see.
Each mile a lesson, etched in time,
A silent witness, to this harsh clime.
Young man heading, to California's shore,
Leaving Lubbock, wanting something more.
Hoping for sunshine, a different fate,
But the West Texas wind, will always wait.
Dust and chrome, a lonely ride,
Across the plains, where dreams collide.
Empty spaces, vast and wide,
West Texas heart, with nowhere to hide.
Dust and chrome, fading light,
Hold on tight, through the long, dark night.
Just dust and chrome, turning slow,
Where the lonely highways, endlessly flow.
A silent mutter, on the breeze,
West Texas secrets, among the trees.
