Cold glass pressed to my cheek tonight
Counting poles in the yellow light
Click the shutter and hold the frame
Now the city has lost its name
Tires humming on the damp black road
Carrying a heavy midnight load
Swaying slow in the orange glare
Feeling salt in the humid air
Silver bus with a rusted door
I don't live in that town no more
Flash the lens on a roadside sign
Crossing over a painted line
Tires humming on the damp black road
Carrying a heavy midnight load
Swaying slow in the orange glare
Feeling salt in the humid air
Wet asphalt like a mirror sheet
Rhythm drumming a steady beat
Leather strap on my shoulder bone
Driving far to a place unknown
Tires humming on the damp black road
Carrying a heavy midnight load
Swaying slow in the orange glare
Feeling salt in the humid air
Snapshot blur of a distant hill
Everything is sudden and still
Watch the headlights cut through the gray
Moving on to a different day
Tires humming on the damp black road
Carrying a heavy midnight load
Swaying slow in the orange glare
Feeling salt in the humid air
Just the hum of the road. Swaying slow.
Keep it rolling.
