Hooked on Clock-Out

[Verse 1] Steel toes draggin’ through aisle nine Radio crackles, “Need one more line” Sun went down about six hours back Still throwin’ freight off a half-broke stack Coffee cold in the cup holder ring Boss says, “Almost done” — same old thing My phone lights up with a porch light glow And every mile in me says go go go [Pre-Chorus] That highway moon keeps callin’ my name Every forklift beep sounds the same [Chorus] I’m hooked on the feelin’ Of finally leavin’ Clock hits quittin’ time and my soul starts breathin’ Dreamin’ ‘bout the driveway and the screen door swingin’ Cold drink waitin’ and the crickets singin’ Yeah I’m strung out, burnt out, dead on my feet But home’s got a hold on me tonight Hooked on goin’ home [Verse 2] Parking lot gravel under my boots Throw the vest down, dust off the soot Engine turns over like a choir sound Ain’t no better song than tires on town Passing neon and the gas station glow Windows cracked with the late-night flow One hand drivin’, one tappin’ the wheel Thinking ‘bout supper and something real [Pre-Chorus] Ain’t chasing money, fame, or gold Just my own front porch and a place to unload [Chorus] I’m hooked on the feelin’ Of finally leavin’ Clock hits quittin’ time and my soul starts breathin’ Dreamin’ ‘bout the driveway and the screen door swingin’ Cold drink waitin’ and the crickets singin’ Yeah I’m strung out, burnt out, dead on my feet But home’s got a hold on me tonight Hooked on goin’ home [Bridge] Some folks live for Friday lights Some chase bars till morning bright Me? I’m counting yellow lines Till I see that porch light shine [Final Chorus] Yeah I’m hooked on the feelin’ Of wheels turnin’ freedom Tail lights fading from the warehouse ceiling Every long shift leads where my heart keeps leanin’ Back to the people that give my life meaning Yeah I’m worn thin, run down, barely alive But home pulls stronger every time Hooked on goin’ home [Outro] Hooked on goin’ home… Yeah… that’s the good stuff right there.
