Back Into It One More Time

[Intro] Reverse lights in the rain Dock 22 Third attempt Everybody’s pretending not to watch [Verse 1] Mirror check and a slow deep breath One more try before I call it death Trailer drifting just a little wide Puddles shaking in the sodium light Forklift shadows moving through the haze Feels like I’ve been backing up for days Every correction bends too far Every small mistake leaves another scar [Pre-Chorus] But the old heads said don’t rush the turn Every hard dock’s a thing you learn And pride ain’t quitting when it gets rough It’s lining back up and backing up [Chorus] Back into it one more time Straighten the wheels and hold the line Bad days come and bad days stay But freight still moves anyway Catnado gone, nerves worn thin Still finding a way to pull back in One more shot beneath these lights Back into it one more time [Verse 2] Rain taps slow on the driver door Yard dog watching from a forklift porch Could’ve left mad, could’ve blamed the day Could’ve cursed every mile along the way But somewhere between the cones and noise You learn patience ain’t weakness, boys Sometimes the win ain’t looking clean It’s just getting done eventually [Pre-Chorus] Small correction, easy now Don’t fight the trailer, work it around Every driver knows this fight Long nights under loading lights [Chorus] Back into it one more time Straighten the wheels and hold the line Bad days come and bad days stay But freight still moves anyway Catnado pulse barely there Still got diesel in the air One more try beneath these lights Back into it one more time [Bridge] Then suddenly the trailer slides true Like it finally decided to listen to you Dock plate drops with a heavy sound Like victory finally touching ground [Breakdown] Air brake hiss Raincoat shine Another hard-earned finish line Forklift rolls Tension fades End of another loading day [Final Chorus] Back into it one more time That’s the rhythm of this life Roads bend wrong and schedules break Still we haul what others make Morning waiting somewhere ahead Past the static and the stress And when tomorrow calls again I’ll back into it one more time [Outro] Dock light turns green Rain finally slows And somewhere far away Another driver starts their shift
