Track Insight / Lyrics

Boxcar leans where weeds have claimed the grade Rusted ribs show where the paint has frayed Brake shoe screams where steel once held the line Night shift coffee keeps the midnight time Iron unspooling on the gravel line Twilight drinks the rust like homemade wine Wheels remember every mile they've known Now they sink to sleep in dirt and stone Gravel driveway swallows up the tires Fireflies stitch the dark with tiny wires Cook flips eggs on griddle worn and black Regulars don't talk they don't look back Iron unspooling on the gravel line Twilight drinks the rust like homemade wine Wheels remember every mile they've known Now they sink to sleep in dirt and stone Dented flank reflects the sodium glow Diner sign above it flickers slow Each rivet pops a lullaby of stress Metal sighs in heavy loneliness No whistle blows no conductor calls Just gravity inside the sagging walls Time uncouples what the welds held tight Twilight wins the long and losing fight Regular at counter lifts his cup Watches iron drink the twilight up Says she carried grain and wartime steel Now she rests where gravel knows the real Iron unspooling on the gravel line Twilight drinks the rust like homemade wine Wheels remember every mile they've known Now they sink to sleep in dirt and stone Morning shift will find the same old scene Boxcar sleeping where the grass grows green Cook wipes hands on towel stained with grease Another night of twilight finds its peace Iron unspooling on the gravel line Twilight drinks the rust like homemade wine Wheels remember every mile they've known Now they sink to sleep in dirt and stone Iron sleeps where gravel ends Twilight drinks what time intends
