Track Insight / Lyrics
The meter reads the miles you never drove
The radio sings codes you know by rote
A fare paid in kelp and heavy spray
You steer the ships, they steer the way
Salt and chrome where waters meet
Your beacon cuts the rushing street
Salt and chrome where waters meet
The road don't sleep, the road don't sleep
Fog horns answer engine brakes
The asphalt drinks what ocean makes
You trim the wick, you check the glass
While semis rumble, heavy mass
Salt and chrome where waters meet
Your beacon cuts the rushing street
Salt and chrome where waters meet
The road don't sleep, the road don't sleep
Dawn breaks pink on chrome and steel
The night shift ends, the morning wheel
You log the hours, ink to page
Another watch, another wage
Salt and chrome where waters meet
Your beacon cuts the rushing street
Salt and chrome where waters meet
The road don't sleep, the road don't sleep
The tide turns hard, the concrete sings
You count the knots, you count the things
No passenger asks where or why
Just light that sweeps the midnight sky
Salt and chrome where waters meet
Your beacon cuts the rushing street
Salt and chrome where waters meet
The road don't sleep, the road don't sleep
Salt and chrome, salt and chrome
You keep the flame, you guide them home
