White Line Hypnosis

[Intro] Two-lane highway 1:42 AM No traffic for miles Just reflector posts and engine noise [Verse 1] County road stretching thin and pale Headlights carving through the rails Cornfield shadows slide beside Like the night itself can drive Coffee cold in the cupholder ring AM radio barely sings Every town I pass looks half asleep Like it’s trying not to wake me [Pre-Chorus] White lines flicker soft and slow Like they already know How this road gets in your head Mile by mile instead [Chorus] White line hypnosis on a midnight run Chasing faded roads that never end undone Headlights drifting through the haze Lost somewhere between the lanes Catnado heartbeat running low Only the dashboard seems to glow Two-lane silence pulling me in While the tires hum their endless hymn [Verse 2] Passing headlights bloom then fade Ghosts for half a second made Every mailbox, sign, and tree Starts repeating endlessly Wind pushes steady on the side Trailer sways but holds the line Somewhere past the county sign I lost track of space and time [Pre-Chorus] Static rolling through the air Like somebody almost there But the signal slips away Before it has a word to say [Chorus] White line hypnosis on a midnight run Chasing faded roads that never end undone Headlights drifting through the haze Lost somewhere between the lanes Catnado heartbeat running low Only the dashboard seems to glow Two-lane silence pulling me in While the tires hum their endless hymn [Bridge] No billboards No noise No city lights Just engine rhythm keeping time tonight And for a moment everything feels still Like the whole world forgot the hill [Breakdown] Reflector flash Telephone wire Moonlight hanging low and tired Hands at ten Eyes ahead Highway dreams inside my head [Final Chorus] White line hypnosis on a midnight run Watching distant dawn begin to come Fog lifting off the roadside grass Like the night was built to pass Still rolling slow through the gray unknown Halfway between lost and home And the road keeps whispering again Just hold the line… and let it bend [Outro] First sunlight on the hood Radio fades back in Another county line disappears behind me
