Track Insight / Lyrics
Desert air hangs heavy, thick with heat
Dust devils dance beneath my weary feet
Neon signs shimmer, promises they keep
Calling out to wanderers in their sleep
Moth on pale wings, caught in a light show
Flyin' down this highway, don't you let it slow
Follow the asphalt river to the distant glow
Where the city waits with secrets, row on row
Coffee cups steam and stories pour tonight
Truckers grumble, lookin' for the fading light
One last cigarette, the embers turn to gray
Another restless soul fades into the day
Moth on pale wings, caught in a light show
Flyin' down this highway, don't you let it slow
Follow the asphalt river to the distant glow
Where the city waits with secrets, row on row
Radio cracklin', singin' songs of longing
Hearts on broken maps, forever belonging
To this endless road, this concrete maze
Searching for somethin' better, in a hazy daze
Moth on pale wings, caught in a light show
Flyin' down this highway, don't you let it slow
Follow the asphalt river to the distant glow
Where the city waits with secrets, row on row
Sun sets slow, paintin' the sky in hues of gold
A million tiny lights, a story yet untold
The highway stretches onward, an endless, winding trail
To a promised land, where dreams never fail
Windshield wipers sweepin', rain starts to fall
The world is blurrin', answerin' the call
Of the unknown, the beckoning unknown
Where the lost and lonely find their place to call home
Moth on pale wings, caught in a light show
Flyin' down this highway, don't you let it slow
Follow the asphalt river to the distant glow
Where the city waits with secrets, row on row
Fade out on the banjo, a final mournful note
Echoing the highway's lonely, restless rote
