Track Insight / Lyrics
You parked your truck where tides don't reach
The pump light flickers like a buoy
An iron anchor bites the beach
Of concrete where no gulls deploy
Neon burns through salt-stained glass
Anchor holds where highways cross
You keep the light, you watch the pass
This storm won't last, this storm won't last
The attendant sleeps in vinyl chairs
His dreams are kelp and radar sweep
You trace the rust, you say your prayers
For ships that never left the deep
A semi roars like breaking surf
Its wake blows hot across the lot
You've watched the ocean, watched the turf
This anchor's caught, this anchor's not
Neon burns through salt-stained glass
Anchor holds where highways cross
You keep the light, you watch the pass
This storm won't last, this storm won't last
No logbook here, no trumpet call
Just credit cards and diesel smoke
You've weathered worse than parking stalls
The beam still sweeps through diesel fog
The beam still sweeps, the beam still spoke
Morning pumps the brakes on night
The anchor lifts with grinding groan
You scratch the salt from off your sight
And drive the coast you've always known
Neon burns through salt-stained glass
Anchor holds where highways cross
You keep the light, you watch the pass
This storm won't last, this storm won't last
Neon burns through salt-stained glass
Anchor holds where highways cross
You keep the light, you watch the pass
The beam still sweeps through diesel fog
