Track Insight / Lyrics
Kitchen stools creak as I slide into the booth
Neon puddles reflecting the diner's flicker and truth
3 a.m., a pulp of coffee, my cargo far from home
Rain lashes the roof, a white noise to the beat of my soul
Dizzy headlights slice the stormy night
A blurry blur of life, out of sight
In this diner's glow, I'm lost in time
Chasing some dream, leaving no sign
Oh, I ride the rails, a ghostly wheel
Through the heart of darkness, my heart does feel
Ghosts of the towns, the memories they keep
In neon's ember glow, my soul tries to sleep
Rainwater dripping, the floorboards creak beneath
A fleeting refuge from the tempestuous street
The waitress pours another cup, she gives a knowing look
Like she's heard this story before, and she's seen my brooding smoke
Dizzy headlights slice the stormy night
A blurry blur of life, out of sight
In this diner's glow, I'm lost in time
Chasing some dream, leaving no sign
Oh, I ride the rails, a ghostly wheel
Through the heart of darkness, my heart does feel
Ghosts of the towns, the memories they keep
In neon's ember glow, my soul tries to sleep
How many miles till the dawn breaks through?
How much more of this endless, lonely pursuit?
The roar of the engine, a soothing white noise
As I'm wired to the wheels, I close my eyes
Oh, I ride the rails, an endless voyage
Through the heart of darkness, my heart now knows
The ghosts of the towns, the memories I've made
In neon's fading glow, my soul drifts away
Back on the rails, the diner's neon fades
My cargo secured, a new dawn will create
A new route, a new tale, these tracks I'll never ride again
Lost in the neon, forever on the line.
