Track Insight / Lyrics

Cracked leather grips the sun-baked wheel Steel ribs flex on asphalt heel Creosote bush drinks monsoon rain Larrea roots drink deep again Ocotillo spikes pierce blue terrain [Pre- Heat shimmer dances on the blacktop skin Tarantula hawk hunts where winds begin Kangaroo rat darts through brittle shade We hold the line this highway made We are leather sentinels standing tall Guarding the ribbon where semis crawl Mesquite and palo verde bow their crowns We track the sun until it goes down Patient as xylem in dark ground Dashboard cracks where UV bites Opuntia pads hold winter nights Steering column wears our patterned grooves Prosopis roots in caliche prove We measure time in tire moves [Pre- Dust devil spins on the shoulder's edge Harris hawk rides the thermal ledge Engine purrs a low and steady hymn We wear the miles right to the brim We are leather sentinels standing tall Guarding the ribbon where semis crawl Mesquite and palo verde bow their crowns We track the sun until it goes down Patient as xylem in dark ground Night falls cold on meteorite sand Scorpion glows under UV lamp hand We hold the wheel through freezing dark Cereus blooms leave their fragrant mark Dawn paints gold on the hawk and lark We are leather sentinels standing tall Guarding the ribbon where semis crawl Mesquite and palo verde bow their crowns We track the sun until it goes down Patient as xylem in dark ground Tread separates from rubber crown Blowout scatters black ribbon down We grip the rim through violent sway Yucca moths pollinate the day Driver walks the shoulder away We are leather sentinels standing tall Guarding the ribbon where semis crawl Mesquite and palo verde bow their crowns We track the sun until it goes down Patient as xylem in dark ground New hands slide on our softened skin Fresh leather takes the route we've been We rest in trunk on canvas sheet Roots hold fast where waters meet Silent guardians retired complete We are leather sentinels standing tall Guarding the ribbon where semis crawl Mesquite and palo verde bow their crown
