Four Wheels Off the Ground” ⸻ Verse 1 I was ridin’ past the feed store, radio low and blue Full moon hangin’ heavy like a spotlight on the hood Diesel hummin’ honest, just a backroad Friday night When that silver dollar moonbeam hit my windshield just right Steerin’ wheel got lighter Dashboard started glowin’ Gravel turned to stardust Next thing I was floatin’ ⸻ Chorus Four wheels off the ground, Lord I ain’t comin’ down Headlights cut through constellations spinnin’ all around CB cracklin’ static from a Martian rodeo Milky Way’s a highway where the neon comets glow If this is what you call losin’ control Don’t wake me up — I’m cruisin’ through my soul ⸻ Verse 2 Passed a Saturn truck stop sellin’ cosmic gasoline Aliens in Wranglers buyin’ pork rind magazines Saw a cowboy asteroid with a lasso made of light Ropin’ little meteors like fireflies at night There’s a jukebox in the vacuum Playin’ steel guitar in zero-G Planets slow dancin’ To a twang in D ⸻ Chorus Four wheels off the ground, Lord I ain’t lookin’ back Moon turned into chrome and laid a silver railroad track I waved at Earth below me like a farm I used to own Gravity’s just jealousy for boys who roam alone If this is what you call losin’ my mind I hope I stay this lost for all of time ⸻ Bridge (Word Salad Drift Section) Butter banjo, comet smoke Raccoon pilot wearin’ a velvet cloak Dashboard roses bloom in flame License plate just forgot my name Cornfield constellations hum Pickup truck turned helium Rearview mirror shows my past Wavin’ slow as I drift on past ⸻ Verse 3 I saw Mama’s front porch swing orbit Jupiter’s ring Daddy’s old work boots floatin’ like they’d grown angel wings Every wrong I ever carried burned up in the stars Turned into a fireworks show behind a flying Ford Somewhere past forever Time forgot my name And the moon just tipped its hat Like we was playin’ some outlaw game ⸻ Final Chorus (Big & Soaring) Four wheels off the ground, never felt so free Tailgate hummin’ harmonies in cosmic key If I gotta come back down someday to that dirt road I’ll still know how the universe in a pickup truck glowed Full moon winked and said “Son, you’re bound.” That’s when I smiled… And touched back down.
