Track Insight / Lyrics
You clip your harness to the rail
Salt air cuts through the morning veil
Six hours walking thin blue line
Now boots rest on concrete spine
High wire break, high wire break
Eggs over easy, coffee steak
Balancing done for one more day
Rest your boots, let the morning stay
I've flipped your order twenty years
Same stool, same grin, same disappear
You walk the cables, I walk the grill
Both feeding folks who need their fill
High wire break, high wire break
Eggs over easy, coffee steak
Balancing done for one more day
Rest your boots, let the morning stay
Seagulls scream past the guardrail posts
You count the rivets, count the ghosts
Not the spooky kind, just jobs gone wrong
Bolts that slipped where you belong
High wire break, high wire break
Eggs over easy, coffee steak
Balancing done for one more day
Rest your boots, let the morning stay
Yolk runs yellow on white plate
Best therapy money can create
No safety net beneath this chair
Just grease and grit and morning air
Wind still hums in your fingertips
Muscle memory never quits
But here the ground don't sway or dip
Just hash browns crisp and coffee sip
Shift bell rings at the factory gate
You wipe your hands, you check your weight
Harness hangs on the passenger side
Another crossing, another ride
High wire break, high wire break
Eggs over easy, coffee steak
Balancing done for one more day
Rest your boots, let the morning stay
High wire break, high wire break
Best damn pause that you'll ever make
Cup clinks empty on the tray
See you tomorrow, same time, same way
