Track Insight / Lyrics
Camera strap cuts shoulder bone
Greyhound hisses, heading home
Mile marker fades in dusty zone
Boots hit dirt on gravel stone
Boxcar rests on warped steel rails
Orange paint peels like sunburnt skin
Twilight spears through corroded veil
Gravel drinks the amber in
Rusted giant guards the drive
Gravel glows in twilight light
Camera clicks, I stay alive
In this glow I choose to ride
Shutter snaps the dying day
Iron ribs catch fading gold
No ticket stub, no fare to pay
Just stories that the steel would hold
Rusted giant guards the drive
Gravel glows in twilight light
Camera clicks, I stay alive
In this glow I choose to ride
Headlights sweep the shoulder grass
Engine coughs and turns to rust
I don't need a map or pass
Just the camera, just the dust
Fingers numb on winding knob
Film advances, frame by frame
No address, no coming job
Just the road and no last name
Stars prick holes in canvas black
Freight car stands, a sentinel
I pack light and don't look back
Gravel crunches, farewell, farewell
Rusted giant guards the drive
Gravel glows in twilight light
Camera clicks, I stay alive
In this glow I choose to ride
Yeah, in this glow I choose to ride
Shutter clicks. Engine starts.
Gravel dust and iron hearts.
