Track Insight / Lyrics
Coffee steams on the flat top grill
Thunder rolls past the diner sign
Big rig engine dies on the hill
Boots hit the porch boards, keeping time
Counting steps in a three-four rhyme
He walks the porch in a waltz beat
Rain drums a rhythm on tin sheet
Each step a measure, slow and sweet
Cook watches from the counter seat
Night shift waltz on a thunder street
Grease pops loud in the cast iron pan
Trucker shakes water from his coat
Orders two eggs, best in the land
Jokes about weather, drops a short note
Footsteps resume on the porch wood float
He walks the porch in a waltz beat
Rain drums a rhythm on tin sheet
Each step a measure, slow and sweet
Cook watches from the counter seat
Night shift waltz on a thunder street
Cello hums low from the corner juke
Violin sighs like a worn out brake
Harpsichord ticks in a wooden clock
Flute breathes warm for the storm's own sake
Boots keep the rhythm the thunder makes
He walks the porch in a waltz beat
Rain drums a rhythm on tin sheet
Each step a measure, slow and sweet
Cook watches from the counter seat
Night shift waltz on a thunder street
Dawn cracks pale through the diner glass
Trucker pays up, tips his hat back
Steps fade out on the wet porch grass
Cook flips a pancake, keeps the stack
Waltz ends quiet on the morning track
He walks the porch in a waltz beat
Rain drums a rhythm on tin sheet
Each step a measure, slow and sweet
Cook watches from the counter seat
Morning breaks on the thunder street
Coffee cold, but the porch still sings
