Track Insight / Lyrics
Black ink on a yellow pad
Good fares are the only thing I had
Ten hours in the driver seat
Walking on the burning concrete
Buff the leather, make it shine
Cross the yellow dividing line
Underneath the humming electric glow
Where the midnight currents flow
Stitch the seam and pull it tight
Working through the heavy night
Gasoline and old shoe wax
Heavy load upon the tracks
Buff the leather, make it shine
Cross the yellow dividing line
Underneath the humming electric glow
Where the midnight currents flow
Meter running, ticking fast
Looking for a ride to last
Old leather on a worn out heel
Turning on a rusted wheel
Buff the leather, make it shine
Cross the yellow dividing line
Underneath the humming electric glow
Where the midnight currents flow
Cold wind hits the open door
I can't take the distance anymore
Rough hands and a heavy soul
Losing every bit of control
Crossroads where the tankers wait
Checking on the hour late
Polish up the heavy hide
Take a long and lonely ride
Buff the leather, make it shine
Cross the yellow dividing line
Underneath the humming electric glow
Where the midnight currents flow
Just a fare in the rain
Wash away the heavy stain Keep it shining.
Keep it slow.
