Track Insight / Lyrics
Lights from diners, billboards shine
3 AM, a lonely line
Truckers, dreamers, and restless souls
All searching for a place to call home
Midnight diner, corner spot
Fluorescent hum, a cozy plot
Lonesome man, worn from the road
Yearning for a place to call his home, oh
Drive all night, wheels low, headed to nowhere
Can't let the miles define his story
Drive all night, lights ablaze, what's it mean to roam?
Free as the wind, yet longing for a place to call home
Austin, Louisiana, Mississippi's mile
Crossing states, collecting stories still
Faded signs, and tire marks hold
The secrets of every loner bold
Midnight diner, corner spot
Fluorescent hum, a cozy plot
Lonesome man, worn from the road
Yearning for a place to call his home, oh
Drive all night, wheels low, headed to nowhere
Can't let the miles define his story
Drive all night, lights ablaze, what's it mean to roam?
Free as the wind, yet longing for a place to call home
A stranger's warmth, a nurse's hand
An oasis in this desolate band
But the call of the open road
Will lead him far from this place he's node
Drive all night, wheels low, headed to nowhere
Can't let the miles define his story
Drive all night, lights ablaze, what's it mean to roam?
Free as the wind, yet longing for a place to call home
Sound of the engine, wheels on the ground
Silent dreams, new horizons loom
And with the dawn, his journey's far
But tonight, in this diner, he's a man with a star.
