Diesel scent on a heavy coat
Rain is clinging like a floating boat
Chrome and steel in the parking lot
Searching for the only spot he got
Spin cycle rain in a humming room
Wash away the midnight and the gloom
Tumble dry the miles and the road
Lighten up the heavy winter load
Fluorescent lights flicker overhead
Looking for a scrap of linen thread
Plastic chairs in a sterile row
Waiting for the timer's steady glow
Spin cycle rain in a humming room
Wash away the midnight and the gloom
Tumble dry the miles and the road
Lighten up the heavy winter load
Wet boots stepping on the checkered tile
He has driven every lonely mile
Suds are rising in a soapy white
Cutting through the middle of the night
Spin cycle rain in a humming room
Wash away the midnight and the gloom
Tumble dry the miles and the road
Lighten up the heavy winter load
Folding shirts with a steady hand
Stranger in a strange and salty land
One more turn till the cycle ends
Where the highway and the skyline bends
Spin cycle rain in a humming room
Wash away the midnight and the gloom
Tumble dry the miles and the road
Lighten up the heavy winter load
Spin it round, spin it round
Back to the road, back to the sound
