Diesel humming in the freezing cold
Stories that the winter wind has told
Heavy chrome is shaking in the gale
Turning every highway ribbon pale
Wait it out in the white orchard haze
Counting down all the frozen-over days
Roll the dice while the heavy snowfall clings
Listen how the lonely highway sings
Apple trees are bowing to the ground
Not a single living soul around
Coffee in a thermos, black and hot
Parking in a lonely gravel lot
Silver moonlight hits the frozen glass
Watching every winter minute pass
Thinking of a porch light far away
Dreaming of a warmer summer day
Wait it out in the white orchard haze
Counting down all the frozen-over days
Roll the dice while the heavy snowfall clings
Listen how the lonely highway sings
Ice is locking up the sliding gear
Counting every mile, every fear
Tread is digging in the muddy clay
Waiting for the breaking of the day
Check the mirror, see the drifting white
Blinding out the remaining ghost of light
One more cigarette before the climb
Fighting with the ticking of the time
Wait it out in the white orchard haze
Counting down all the frozen-over days
Roll the dice while the heavy snowfall clings
Listen how the lonely highway sings
Just a little further down the line
Everything is gonna be just fine
Keep it rolling.
White orchard wait.
