Found a job at the corner of Main and Pine, Cleaning the grease and the oil and the brine. Eighteen hours on a concrete floor, Always the last one to lock up the door. [Verse 2: The Grind] Checking the oil and the pressure in the tires, My heart’s got a heat like a thousand fires. Every nickel and dime went into a jar, Watching the world from the hood of a car. The boss man said, "Son, you’ve got a gift for the craft," I just wiped off my brow and I quietly laughed. [Chorus: The Driving Pulse] Service station blues in the pouring rain, Working for the glory and the end of the pain. Back on the wheels, but I’m holding the key, Building a life that belongs just to me. [Bridge: The Turning Point] Then came the day when the old man retired, He saw the ambition, the man he’d hired. He handed me the keys and he shook my hand, I was finally a king in this asphalt land. [Guitar & Harmonica Solo] [Final Chorus: Triumphant and Free] No more service station blues, I’m the boss of the line, I own every gallon and I own every sign. Back on the wheels, and I’m holding the key, I’ve built a world that belongs just to me. [Outro: Fading with a confident beat] Yeah, the name on the sign is mine today... Gasoline dreams and a highway to pay...
