Track Insight / Lyrics
Thirty years I've hauled this town
Cracked vinyl knows each sweat and frown
Chrome grille wears the salt and grime
My broadsword rests in morning time
Tarnished blade catches first light
Cuts through shadows, ends the night
Attic window frames the glow
Knight finds peace he didn't know
Passengers leave ghost imprints
Fares paid in complaints and hints
I drive the veins nobody sees
Pulse of concrete, steel, and trees
Tarnished blade catches first light
Cuts through shadows, ends the night
Attic window frames the glow
Knight finds peace he didn't know
Radio static speaks in code
Static stories on the road
No damsels in this tower high
Just drunk kids and goodbye
Tarnished blade catches first light
Cuts through shadows, ends the night
Attic window frames the glow
Knight finds peace he didn't know
Engine coughs a diesel hymn
Pistons pump on borrowed rim
Mileage writes its own epitaph
I chart the city on a graph
Sun hits hood like holy fire
Burns the rust off every wire
For a moment I'm not old
Just a story to be told
Shift ends where the depot sits
Keys hang heavy on my wrists
Tom
