Lyrics By: J.G. Argo ©2026 Inspired by a dream [Intro] The day wrung every drop from my bones Heat waves rising from my skin So I soaked in the tub And let the silence pull me in Somewhere between the steam and sleep A road appeared in golden light A river crossing through the daylight Waiting on the other side [Verse 1] Sunlight spilled across the blacktop River rushing over the road My wife drove through without hesitation Like she already knew the way Past the current, past the crossing To a building old and worn She stepped away for just a moment Leaving me alone to roam Walking round the front of the Jeep Parked beside a white van I found two strangers by the back tire Working on something I couldn't understand One was fighting with a lug nut One was checking near the rear Then he pointed to the sidewall And three bright nails appeared Three nails... Sticking from the sidewall Like three pieces of a truth Nobody could hide [Pre-Chorus] The river moved The sunlight burned And something in me knew [Chorus] Three nails in the sidewall I took the wheel off with my bare hands No jack No spare No reason Still we rolled on Everything said stop here Everything said you're done But the road kept pulling forward And the journey wasn't done No jack used... No spare found... Still we rolled on Still we rolled on [Verse 2] The man kept fighting with the lug nut Left like his sanity expired Put my hand upon the wrench And easily removed the tire No struggle No resistance Like it wanted to let go Like something I'd been carrying Was finally ready to go When I looked up from the gravel Both the strangers disappeared No goodbye No explanation Only silence lingering there Then I looked into the cargo space And what I found seemed strange A giant yellow jack Bright as daylight Waiting Unused Unchanged [Pre-Chorus] When I looked up from the metal They were already gone Like they only came to start it Not to stay and carry on [Chorus] Three nails in the sidewall I took the wheel off with my bare hands No jack No spare No reason Still we rolled on Everything said stop here Everything said you're done But the road kept pulling forward And the journey wasn't done No jack used... No spare found... Still we rolled on Still we rolled on [Bridge] Maybe every river crossing Takes us where we're scared to go Maybe those who point the damage Cannot walk the road for you Maybe what has lost its purpose Must be left behind to move Maybe every missing answer Every map that's come undone Is another invitation From somewhere deep beneath the sun [Breakdown] No jack... No spare... Three nails... Still there... No fear... No plan... Just the wheel Inside my hands [Final Chorus] Three nails in the sidewall I took the wheel off with my bare hands No jack No spare No reason Still we rolled on And the river kept on shining Like it knew what I'd become The thing I thought was holding me Wasn't carrying me at all No jack used... No spare found... Still we rolled on Still we rolled on [Outro] I told her, "We can't drive without the tire." She smiled Turned the key And drove anyway No leaning No dragging No sparks No failure Just motion No jack used... No spare found... Still we rolled on Still we rolled on Still we rolled on...
