Track Insight / Lyrics
Cold coffee in a plastic cup
The morning sun is waking up
I see that car beside the bend
A rusty line that will not end
The mist is thick upon the stream
A heavy metal kind of dream
The iron wheels are locked in place
A frozen look on every face
Oh, the rusty river rail
A heavy load, a broken trail
Waiting for the wind to blow
Nowhere left for us to go
I flip the grill and sear the meat
The asphalt hums with city heat
You watch the bridge from where you stand
A piece of steel in soggy sand
The mist is thick upon the stream
A heavy metal kind of dream
The iron wheels are locked in place
A frozen look on every face
Oh, the rusty river rail
A heavy load, a broken trail
Waiting for the wind to blow
Nowhere left for us to go
The rivets pop and paint peels thin
The river water seeps right in
A hollow shell of old design
A lonely ghost on a dead line
Oh, the rusty river rail
A heavy load, a broken trail
Waiting for the wind to blow
Nowhere left for us to go
I wipe the counter, clear the plate
The regulars can't stand to wait
The freight car shivers in the breeze
A giant sleeping by the trees
Oh, the rusty river rail
A heavy load, a broken trail
Waiting for the wind to blow
Nowhere left for us to go
Just a rusty river rail.
Keep it rolling.
Yeah, keep it rolling.
