Track Insight / Lyrics

My meter's dark, shift is done Watch the big rig block the sun Eighteen wheels on wet asphalt Driver smoking, engines cough Mud flaps hanging, heavy chain Night City drips like novocaine He hauls ore from Mars colony Stops for coffee, stops for me Chrome stacks glowing, red and hot Rain turns parking lot to rot CB crackles, static voice Driver makes a lonely choice Midnight diesel, burning slow Night City alleys, nowhere to go Pedal steel cries on the radio Midnight diesel, let it flow Wipers slap a broken beat Steam rises from the engine heat He checks his log, he checks his phone Thousand miles from Arizona Dashboard saint watches the night Glowing soft in pale moonlight Midnight diesel, burning slow Night City alleys, nowhere to go Pedal steel cries on the radio Midnight diesel, let it flow Harmonica wails a lonesome tune Underneath a paper moon Taxi driver knows the cost Every mile is gone and lost Steel guitar cries, the music stops Midnight diesel, engine drops Dawn cracks open, gray and thin Trucker climbs back in again Air brakes hiss a final sigh Neon fades in morning sky My flag goes up, I pull away Another fare, another day But that rig stays parked in rain Midnight diesel in my brain Rearview mirror shows the scene Chrome and water, gasoline Midnight diesel, burning slow Night City alleys, nowhere to go Pedal steel cries on the radio Midnight diesel, let it flow Midnight diesel, let it flow Rain hammers the hood of my cab Midnight diesel...
