Track Insight / Lyrics
Cracked eggs sizzle on the flat top grill
Mug watches highway stretch past window sill
Regulars order same as yesterday
Ceramic ears hear asphalt turn to gray
[Pre-
Heat rises from the black coffee tide
Mile markers blink where the coyotes hide
White rim holds the bitter brew
White rim drinks the morning dew
Highway sings a low lullaby
Mug just listens, doesn't ask why
Porcelain chin rests on the formica scar
Trucker tires hum like a slide guitar
Cook flips bacon with a wrist flick fast
Dawn peels paint off the overpass
[Pre-
Steam writes ghosts on the glass so thin
Daybreak cracks where the night begins
White rim holds the bitter brew
White rim drinks the morning dew
Highway sings a low lullaby
Mug just listens, doesn't ask why
Hash browns crisp in the cast iron pan
Mug feels vibration of a delivery van
Waitress pours refill without a word
Highway's chorus finally heard
Ceramic throat warm with the roast
Asphalt veins from coast to coast
Two witnesses to the same sunrise
One holds heat, one bears the skies
White rim holds the bitter brew
White rim drinks the morning dew
Highway sings a low lullaby
Mug just listens, doesn't ask why
Chipped handle remembers every calloused grip
Center line pulses with a white lip
Cook wipes counter with a rag so worn
New day stretches, no longer torn
White rim holds the bitter brew
White rim drinks the morning dew
Highway sings a low lullaby
Mug just listens, doesn't ask why
White rim holds the bitter brew
White rim drinks the morning dew
Steam fades slow on the white rim
Highway hums the same old hymn
