Track Insight / Lyrics
Steel beams stretch across the black
Cold wind hits the metal track
I count coins in a plastic tray
Watching all the cars drift away
One dollar for the heavy ride
Keep the lonely ghosts inside
Check the mirror, check the clock
Wait for the heavy iron lock
Tracing lines on a parking lot
Counting spots that the strangers forgot
Under lights of a humming blue
I am waiting here for you
Grease on a white porcelain plate
Coffee burns while the regulars wait
I flip the eggs on a sizzling grill
While the midnight air turns a chill
One dollar for the heavy ride
Keep the lonely ghosts inside
Check the mirror, check the clock
Wait for the heavy iron lock
Tracing lines on a parking lot
Counting spots that the strangers forgot
Under lights of a humming blue
I am waiting here for you
Wet asphalt reflects the glare
Smell of diesel in the salt air
A silver sedan slows its pace
I recognize a familiar face
Break the rhythm, break the spell
Ringing like a dinner bell
Tear the ticket, open the gate
Better now before it is too late
Tracing lines on a parking lot
Counting spots that the strangers forgot
Under lights of a humming blue
I am waiting here for you
Wipe the counter, scrub the pan
Hold the ticket in my hand
Shift the gear and slide the door
I don't need the distance anymore
Tracing lines on a parking lot
Counting spots that the strangers forgot
Under lights of a humming blue
I am waiting here for you
Toll booth light, humming low.
Finally, it's time to go.
