Track Insight / Lyrics
Rain streaks the windshield, wipers keep time
Fare dropped at the station, left a nickel and dime
Blue denim figure leans on the pump stand
Sparks kiss the darkness, steady and planned
Radio crackles with a weather report
Taxi meter ticks the night apart
He welds the night in faded blue
Neon trembling on the metal too
Crossroads humming with a diesel song
He's been here waiting, waiting long
Steel sings beneath his steady hand
Morning finds him on this same land

Mileage teaches what the maps don't show
He sees the welder's arc write silver script
On steel that holds the town's backbone stiff
Proverb rises like the dawn's first glow
Work the metal, let the spirit flow
He welds the night in faded blue
Neon trembling on the metal too
Crossroads humming with a diesel song
