Wet asphalt glows in a steady line
The meter clicks and the stars align
I know the shortcuts to dodge the crowd
The engine roar is a velvet cloud
You watch the spray on the glass slide by
A silver streak under heavy sky
I drive the miles that the map forgot
Slowing the pace in a vacant lot
Hear the hum of the rolling tire
A low frequency a steady wire
Damp night wind on a salted road
Carrying every heavy load
The streetlights flicker in yellow gold
A city story that never gets old
I've seen the faces and felt the chill
The wheels keep spinning the world stands still
Hear the hum of the rolling tire
A low frequency a steady wire
Damp night wind on a salted road
Carrying every heavy load
Shift to the left where the river bends
This is the place where the highway ends
Hold on tight to the leather seat
Feel the vibration of the concrete beat
Old proverbs tell us to trust the rain
To wash the sorrow and dull the pain
I steer the wheel through a misty haze
Lost in the loop of these midnight days
Your bags are packed for a distant town
The city lights are a golden crown
I drop you off at the station gate
The clock is ticking it's getting late
Hear the hum of the rolling tire
A low frequency a steady wire
Damp night wind on a salted road
Carrying every heavy load
Humming on the black.
Just humming on the black.
Keep it rolling.
Keep it rolling.
