Mile Marker Time

[Verse 1] I rolled out west with a coffee stain Crossed three states and a weather change My watch said one, my gut said late My cab said move, it didn't debate I asked the moon, it shrugged on me Then I missed my exit [Pre-Chorus] Was it Central? Was it East? I got all these clocks And none of 'em speak One says now One says maybe I'm three exits off And still driving crazy [Chorus] What time is it? I don't know Central, Eastern, take your pick, let's go What time is it? I can't tell My phone says here, but my brain says hell (What time is it?) I'm somewhere in between (Mile marker time) And a tank of gasoline [Verse 2] The diner girl said, "It's ten past eight" But my cab said no, it's freight My dispatcher called from a place unknown Said, "You're early," while I'm lost and gone Cross one line and the whole world shifts Like daylight cheats and the highway drifts [Pre-Chorus] Was it Mountain? Was it back home? I got clocks on clocks But I still roam One says lunch One says two I’m counting truck stops Not counting on you [Chorus] What time is it? I don't know Central, Eastern, take your pick, let's go What time is it? I can't tell My phone says here, but my brain says hell (What time is it?) I'm somewhere in between (Mile marker time) And a tank of gasoline [Bridge] When the sun goes down in one zip code And it’s breakfast in another town I just trust the dash glow And the miles laid out [Final Chorus] What time is it? I don't know Central, Eastern, take your pick, let's go What time is it? I can't tell My phone says here, but my brain says hell (What time is it?) I'm somewhere in between (Mile marker time) And a tank of gasoline (Mile marker time) I’m always just arriving in between
