Track Insight / Lyrics
Chrome bumper holds the evening chill
Vinyl seats remember every spill
Meter frozen at the final fare
Dashboard saints in cracked plastic prayer
Gravel crunches like a short-order grill
Night shift ends on driveway hill
Gravel sings my lullaby
Tires kiss the stones goodbye
Engine rests in purple light
Gravel sings my lullaby
Midnight fares with whiskey breath
Morning commuters cheating death
Lovers' quarrels, babies' cries
All absorbed in upholstery lies
Radio static, hash brown dreams
Pie slice logic, coffee steam
Gravel sings my lullaby
Tires kiss the stones goodbye
Engine rests in purple light
Gravel sings my lullaby
Coffee stains on folded map
Grease-stained receipt in driver's lap
Turn signal clicks its final beat
Exhaust coughs a sweet retreat
Regulars know my order by heart
Two eggs over, heavy art
Gravel sings my lullaby
Tires kiss the stones goodbye
Engine rests in purple light
Gravel sings my lullaby
Headlights dim like tired eyes
Gravel hums my lullabies
Hubcaps catch the fading gold
Stories etched in metal cold
Keys hang silent on the hook
No more miles, no more look
Gravel sings my lullaby
Tires kiss the stones goodbye
Engine rests in purple light
Gravel sings my lullaby
Gravel sings my lullaby
Stone bed holds me, warm and deep
Driver's boots fall fast asleep
