Track Insight / Lyrics
Taxi tires hum on worn blacktop
Salt air rusts the bolts nonstop
Diner glows beneath the overpass
Truckers queue for morning mass
Checkerboard floor and vinyl red
Coffee steam rises overhead
Salt and neon guide the lost
Coastal fog doesn't count the cost
Fluorescent cross on highway night
Burning bright through wind and blight
Old hands know the route by heart
Neon compass, native art
Rain taps rhythm on the chrome
Driver checks his watch alone
Pie rotates on glass display
Cherry glaze melts slow today
Waitress wipes the counter down
Smiles beneath the humming crown
Fares paid in crumpled bills and coin
Stories traded, loosely joined
Overpass shakes when big rigs roar
Dust falls slow on checkered floor
Radio plays a faded tune
Neon buzzes through afternoon
Salt and neon guide the lost
Coastal fog doesn't count the cost
Fluorescent cross on highway night
Burning bright through wind and blight
Old hands know the route by heart
Neon compass, native art
Fog horns moan from harbor deep
Promises the city won't keep
Wheels turn slow on winding grade
Neon shelter, masquerade
Shift ends when the gulls cry loud
Sun breaks through the marine shroud
Taxi pulls to curb and sighs
Neon winks in tired eyes
Another night of fares and friends
Salt and neon never ends
Salt and neon guide the lost
Coastal fog doesn't count the cost
Fluorescent cross on highway night
Burning bright through wind and blight
Old hands know the route by heart
Neon compass, native art
Salt and neon, steady guide
Home beneath the overpass wide
