Chain Grease and Salt

[Intro]
[Verse]
Chain grease on my lucky jeans
Rain blurring out the neon scenes
Pedaling past the rusted cranes
Washing off the city stains
My calves are burning like a wire
Fueling up a quiet fire
The harbor smells of diesel oil
And everything is gonna boil
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve got a letter in my coat
A heavy anchor, not a boat
But the ink is running in the spray
I’m done with living for today
[Chorus]
Burn the map and cut the light
We’re driving through the teeth of night
Salt-stung cheeks and a heavy heart
This is where the engines start
Yeah, we’re gone!
Finally moving on!
[Post-Chorus]
Leaving the port behind
Leaving the daily grind
Yeah, we’re gone!
[Verse]
The boss man had a narrow mind
Left his empathy behind
I threw the keys on the greasy floor
I don’t work for the ghost no more
Blue slushy in a paper cup
Tell me, are you loaded up?
Throw your bag in the rusty hatch
We’re the fire and the match
[Pre-Chorus]
The industrial sky is turning grey
But we’re a thousand miles away
In a mind that’s finally feeling free
Just you, the road, and me
[Chorus]
Burn the map and cut the light
We’re driving through the teeth of night
Salt-stung cheeks and a heavy heart
This is where the engines start
Yeah, we’re gone!
Finally moving on!
[Bridge]
Wurlitzer keys in the evening air
Wind is tangling up your hair
D Major chords on a fuzzed-out string
Listen to the highway sing
No more deliveries to make
No more promises to break
Just the coast and the rising tide
Nowhere left for us to hide
[Hook]
WE’RE LEAVING!
STOP BREATHING!
START BELIEVING!
WE’RE LEAVING!
[Chorus]
Burn the map and cut the light
We’re driving through the teeth of night
Salt-stung cheeks and a heavy heart
This is where the engines start
Yeah, we’re gone!
Finally moving on!
[Post-Chorus]
Moving on
Salt and neon
Moving on
We're finally gone
[Outro]
