Track Insight / Lyrics
Four a.m. and I'm wide awake
Lonely diner lights flicker, neon fading for the day
Footsteps echo through the diner hall
Outside the truck's wheels roll, one then the other, all
Everything's still except for my heartbeat
Midnight hunger pangs and truck stop heat
Across the booth, a lone tear falls down
Two strangers meeting in the dark of town
Wheels in the night, a ghostly glide
Through the cities, country, far and wide
Miles of open road, just me and the miles
Trucker's life, my wheels in the night shine
Seventy-five across the country miles
I drive when the dawn breaks, drive through the WHILE
Coffee's bitter, but I don't mind
Hoping the miles, they'll leave me blind
Everything's still except for my heartbeat
Midnight hunger pangs and truck stop heat
Across the booth, a lone tear falls down
Two strangers meeting in the dark of town
Wheels in the night, a ghostly glide
Through the cities, country, far and wide
Miles of open road, just me and the miles
Trucker's life, my wheels in the night shine
Maybe someday I'll drive on home
Past the diner, past the city alone
But for now, the wheel's my friend
RPMs steady, forever then amen
Wheels in the night, a ghostly glide
Through the cities, country, far and wide
Miles of open road, just me and the miles
Trucker's life, my wheels in the night shine
Neon's gone, dark of the dawn
But my wheels keep turning still and on
I'll drive into the new day's light
My wheels in the night, my wheels feel right.
