[Verse]
Sunrise over rusted fields, another town fades into view
Cracked asphalt ribbon unwinding, same old story, nothin' new
This pickup truck's my only home, these calloused hands my only truth
Another diner, another coffee, another town with no work, another empty booth
(roll on roll on roll on)

[Chorus]
Sparks in the dust (in the dust), memories fading fast (fading fast)
A welder's torch burns cold, a lifetime passed(passed)
These roads stretch out before me, like broken promises in the night
Searching for a flicker of hope, in the fading embers light
(fading embers ....)

[Verse]
Used to build bridges, skyscrapers, felt the heat, saw the sparks fly
Now the machines hum a different tune, and progress leaves me high and dry
They say I'm outdated, obsolete, a relic of a bygone age
But these hands still remember the feel, of metal taking shape
(roll on roll on roll on)

[Bridge]
Somewhere out there, a town that needs my hands
A place where skill and grit still understand
A chance to rebuild, to reignite the flame
To find a purpose, before the darkness claims my name

Yeah Oh

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse]
Radio hums a lonesome tune, the miles roll on and on
Each town's a mirror, reflecting where I've gone wrong
The faces blur, the names all sound the same
Another rejection, another town, another walk of shame
(roll on roll on roll on)

[Chorus]
Sparks in the dust (in the dust), memories fading fast (fading fast)
A welder's torch burns cold, a lifetime passed
These roads stretch out before me, like broken promises in the night
Searching for a flicker of hope, in the fading embers light

[Outro]
[Echoing, fading]
Hope's a stubborn ember... fading in the dust...
A welder's torch grows cold... or maybe, just maybe it will ignite again one day...
The road stretches on... into the unknown... will there ever be a promised land...or just another empty town ?
(roll on roll on roll on)

[Crowd singing along]

[Chorus]
[Energetic]
Sparks in the dust (in the dust), memories fading fast (fading fast)
A welder's torch burns cold, a lifetime passed(passed)
These roads stretch out before me, like broken promises in the night
Searching for a flicker of hope, in the fading embers light
(fading embers ....)

[Guitar solo]

[Piano to fade out]

[Spoken]
Take care friends of enemies , and ...

[Crowd Noise]

[Shouted]
GOOD NIGHT !

[End]
