Track Insight / Lyrics
Coffee steam rises slow and sweet
Diner sign flickers on the street
She leans on rail, boots on concrete
Motel lights paint her face complete
Veranda watch, she owns the night
Desert stars burn cool and bright
Waitress queen in polyester white
Veranda watch till morning light
Truckers laugh in booth three and four
Radio plays the same old score
She refills cups, ignores the door
Dreams of wheels on open floor
Camera captures every frame
Dusty trucks with out-of-state names
She don't notice, she don't claim
Just the rhythm of the same
Veranda watch, she owns the night
Desert stars burn cool and bright
Waitress queen in polyester white
Veranda watch till morning light
Sunrise bleeds through mesa cracks
She throws her apron in the sack
Keys hit the dash, no turning back
Veranda fades to gray and black
Engine roars on highway nine
Rearview shows the diner sign
She's gone but I caught the line
Veranda watch stays in my mind
Veranda watch, she owned the night
Desert stars burned cool and bright
Waitress queen in polyester white
Veranda watch through morning light
Veranda watch, yeah, through the light
Shutter snaps, I ride away
