Track Insight / Lyrics
Twenty years I watched the beam sweep
Salt and rust were all I knew
Now I haul ice through the dark deep
Stars look different, but the job is true
Radar blinks a steady green
Hangar doors cut through the black
Best silence that I've ever seen
No more static on the track
Safe harbor in the steel night
Dock lights burn so warm and bright
Engines rest and time moves slow
Home ain't a place, it's a glow
Resonator sings on the radio
Dirty harp blows low and mean
Pump organ hums a tune I know
Washes all the rust off clean
Radar blinks a steady green
Hangar doors cut through the black
Best silence that I've ever seen
No more static on the track
Safe harbor in the steel night
Dock lights burn so warm and bright
Engines rest and time moves slow
Home ain't a place, it's a glow
I trimmed the wick on Black Rock Head
Storms would howl around the glass
Now I watch the stars instead
Waiting for the morning pass
Four million miles on the clock
Cabin fever, walls close tight
One deep breath, the pressure unlocks
Let the quiet fall like night
Safe harbor in the steel night
Dock lights burn so warm and bright
Engines rest and time moves slow
Home ain't a place, it's a glow
Keeper's log says lights are lit
Trucker parks the
