The Long Grind

V5

Four hundred miles since I saw a face Just a blur of grey in a dead-end place My knuckles are white, my vision is blurred The engine’s the only thing that’s ever heard It’s a dull ache now, a constant hum Waitin’ for the feelin’ in my hands to come. I’m not lookin’ for a way to get out I’ve forgotten what I’m even about Just a steady rhythm, a hollow sound Keepin’ the rubber on the blackened ground. And it’s a long grind down to the coast Where the silence is what hits you the most No big finish, no light in the sky Just a tank runnin’ low and a throat that’s dry Yeah, we’re just movin’ ‘cause we can’t stay still Caught in the gears of a broken will. There’s oil on my boots and grit in my eyes I’m done with the stories and done with the lies The road doesn’t care if you win or you fail It just wants your skin and a vapor trail I don’t need a reason, I don’t need a plan Just the weight of the metal in a tired hand. I’m not lookin’ for a way to get out I’ve forgotten what I’m even about Just a steady rhythm, a hollow sound Keepin’ the rubber on the blackened ground. And it’s a long grind down to the coast Where the silence is what hits you the most No big finish, no light in the sky Just a tank runnin’ low and a throat that’s dry Yeah, we’re just movin’ ‘cause we can’t stay still Caught in the gears of a broken will. And it’s a long grind down to the coast Where the silence is what hits you the most No big finish, no light in the sky Just a tank runnin’ low and a throat that’s dry Yeah, we’re just movin’ ‘cause we can’t stay still Caught in the gears of a broken will. Just movin’... (Keep it rollin’) The long grind... (Keep it rollin’)
