Track Insight / Lyrics
Dust motes dance in the fading light,
Another shift ending into the night.
Steel and sparks, a lonely trade,
Footsteps echo, a life I've made.
Blue denim worn, a faithful friend,
Past the Texaco, 'til the highway bends.
Countin' steps, one, two, and three,
Each one whispers a memory to me.
Neon footsteps, glowin' so bold,
Stories unfoldin', silver and gold.
Crossroads waitin', under the haze,
Lost in the past, in a bygone daze.
Old man Hemlock, fills up his Ford,
Says "Times are tough, Lord knows the Lord."
Got a wife and kids, a weary sigh,
Another dollar slips quickly by.
Neon footsteps, glowin' so bold,
Stories unfoldin', silver and gold.
Crossroads waitin', under the haze,
Lost in the past, in a bygone daze.
She used to wave from the diner door,
Red lipstick smilin', askin' for more.
Coffee steam, and a gentle touch,
Now just an echo, missed so much.
Neon footsteps, glowin' so bold,
Stories unfoldin', silver and gold.
Crossroads waitin', under the haze,
Lost in the past, in a bygone daze.
Steel cools down, the shop is still,
These city lights climb over the hill.
Each flickering bulb, a lonely star,
Reminds me of how far, how far we are.
Young fella drivin', top down and free,
Blastin' music, wild as can be.
Doesn't know a thing 'bout grit and grace,
Just chasin' shadows, at a breakneck pace.
Neon footsteps, burnin' so bright,
Holdin' onto hope, with all my might.
Crossroads callin', through the rain,
Washin' away the hurt and pain.
One more step, then one step more,
'Til I reach the cabin, and close the door.
Neon glow fades, into the grey,
Footsteps silent, endin' the day.
