Track Insight / Lyrics

Last fare took me past the depot Rain dragged silver down the roof Meter ticking while the road slowed I saw sparks beneath the wheat Cold coffee in a dented cup One yellow blink where weeds stood Sunset spilled a rusty red I let the engine breathe and hum Fireflies over prairie grass I keep the meter light Each little spark lets darkness pass Then guides me through the night I keep the meter light Radio whispers through the static A country hymn fades into dust Fence posts vanish in the dark I lean to hear a rustle Somewhere foxes cross the hay No driver waiting by the bar I count the glowing ones away Then take the bend beneath the stars Fireflies over prairie grass I keep the meter light Each little spark lets darkness pass Then guides me through the night I keep the meter light Quarter tank and warning glow Road signs promise not too far The field hums soft beneath the furrows Wind combed silver through the grass A barn light blinks beside the silo An owl calls my name from deep I've driven every road but this one Still keep the town asleep Fireflies over prairie grass I keep the meter light Each little spark lets darkness pass Then guides me through the night I keep the meter light Now the needle rests between Two white lines where none should run Headlights carve across the green I hear the wise old saying come The brightest lights are seldom near The ones you chase may lead astray But sitting still, I see it clear A thousand sparks along the way Rain begins tapping on the hood The grass lays every blade like lace I switch on lights for travelers Who need this lonely place The road ahead is slick and hazy The clouds break for a moment wide I take the slow road, let it wander I let the quiet be my guide Fireflies over prairie grass I keep the meter light Each little spark lets darkness pass Then guides me through the night I keep the meter light Morning wears a gray-blue crown Mist coils around the gate Tire tracks turn the meadow brown I found my fare too late She left a twenty at the window A note said keep those sparks alive I drove till dawn across the prairie To teach the dark how to survive Fireflies over prairie grass I keep the meter light Each little spark lets darkness pass Then guides me through the night I keep the meter light Fireflies over prairie grass I keep the meter bright No matter how the years may pass They'll lead me home by night Rearview holds a field of gold A spark blinks, and then is gone The old road takes me home Still I keep the meter bright
