You pull up slow on a gravel track
With a heavy load on your tired back
The sky is purple and the air is cold
A story written and a truth untold
Buzzing red and buzzing blue
Lighting up the way for you
Gravel crunch and humming light
Keeping watch throughout the night
You see the diner with the flickering glow
Where the coffee's hot and the talking's slow
The idling engine makes a steady beat
While the frozen wind hits the empty street
Buzzing red and buzzing blue
Lighting up the way for you
Gravel crunch and humming light
Keeping watch throughout the night
You check the mirror for a trailing car
You've driven fast and you've driven far
The yellow lines were just a blur of gold
Now you're back inside of the urban fold
Buzzing red and buzzing blue
Lighting up the way for you
Gravel crunch and humming light
Keeping watch throughout the night
The asphalt ends where the dirt begins
That's where the gamble of the road always wins
A steady meter and a heavy fare
A kind of tension in the midnight air
Step out of the door and breathe it in
Let the quiet moment finally begin
The static hum is the only sound
Touching down upon this hallowed ground
You find a seat in the corner booth
Looking for a way to find the truth
A slice of cherry pie and a glass of ice
Paying for the journey at a heavy price
Buzzing red and buzzing blue
Lighting up the way for you
Gravel crunch and humming light
Keeping watch throughout the night
Neon Gravel, Neon Gravel
Watch the midnight miles unravel
Buzzing red and blue.
