Down the Line

from Heat from the Day by Ben Kreader

/

lyrics

broken bottle tore the tire
rode the rim and sparks made fire
pulled off and worked my hands to blue
switched a spare to look for you

lane change markers don’t tell me nothing
that I don’t already know
motel neon blinks pink a vacant glow
heading on down the line

chase the stars across the sky
leave the headlights set on high
speedometer lurches over
but then stops and twitches still
blind speed building
I’m burning down this hill

headlight traces all backlight faces
that I’ll never ever know
gas sign shadow
says all the pumps are closed
heading on down the line

I’m gonna find you
I’m gonna find you

truck throws a rod and the hood feels hot
and I’m choking on the smoke
green stream burning down
through the grass below
and I’m heading on down the line

I’m gonna find you
yes I will
yes I will
I’m gonna find you
