Track Insight / Lyrics
Griddle sings a greasy hymn
Coffee steam rises dim
Hash browns crisp in cast iron pan
Night shift starts, I'm the only man
Regulars laugh at counter stools
Truckers break the golden rules
Bell dings loud, two eggs over light
I flip wrists with all my might
Tires hum on wet black top
Streetlights paint a glowing stop
Engine roar and bass line thump
Diner heart begins to jump
Short order speedway, we don't stop
Rain slicks the interstate curve
Headlights cut the silver nerve
My beater coughs, she wants to race
Grease under nails, I set the pace
Tires hum on wet black top
Streetlights paint a glowing stop
Engine roar and bass line thump
Diner heart begins to jump
Short order speedway, we don't stop
Wiper blades slap quarter time
Radio sings a static rhyme
No customers, just open road
Heavy foot and lightened load
Shift ends slow at four a.m.
Apron stained, I'm born again
Keys in hand, the lot is clear
Midnight ghosts disappear
Highway hums a lullaby
Tail lights bleed in ruby sky
Cook by night, but king of gears
Diner dreams fuel all my years
Tires hum on wet black top
Streetlights paint a glowing stop
Engine roar and bass line thump
Diner heart begins to jump
Short order speedway, we don't stop
Yeah, we never stop
Grind the beans, the sun comes up
Another shift, another cup
Engine cools in morning dew
