Track Insight / Lyrics
Miles of glinting blacktop stretch
Under stars, a silver ribbon snakes
Lone truck rumbles, half-asleep
In the cab, the world's a blur, it seems
Rubber's steady thrum, a heartbeat sound
Through the night, this route's well-known ground
A sea of trees, a world unseen
In the headlights, shadows spill and glean
The forest whispers secrets, ancient and cold
But the truck keeps moving, young and bold
Night, take me far from here
Into the dark, where worries cease and clear
In the silence of the highway's sway
Let me find my way
The forest fades to telephone poles standing tall
A line of sentinels, watching over all
The wind stirs through their metal arms
A lonely rustling, soft and calm
The truck's steady pace, a lonely friend
Bound on a journey that won't end
A sea of darkness, stars up high
Telephone wires, a skeletal sky
The forest hushes, gives way to night
The highway's lullaby, a somber delight
Night, take me far from here
Into the dark, where worries cease and clear
In the silence of the highway's sway
Let me find my way
Miles tick by like falling tears
The truck lumbers on through anxious years
No haven sought, no rest allowed
This solitary path, where secrets crowd
In the stillness, the heart does plead
To the night, for solace, guidance speed
A sea of darkness, stars up high
Telephone wires, a skeletal sky
The forest hushes, gives way to night
The highway's lullaby, a somber delight
Night, take me far from here
Into the dark, where worries cease and clear
In the silence of the highway's sway
Let me find my way
The dawn's first tendrils creep and spread
Leno's sleepy eyes, a weary head
The forest's edge, the world anew
A new day breaks, a journey through
The night's embrace, a solace deep
That stirs the soul, lets memory sleep
Piano's hum, distant still
Hubcap's brushstroke on the climb
Left behind the dark of night
And the lonely, endless highway's light
