Oil and Dirt

[Intro]
[Verse]
Radiator hums a low-end blues
Grease under nails I couldn't lose
Cracked windshield catches the glare
Breathing in the heavy highway air
Static screaming on the radio dial
Haven't seen a smile in a while
[Pre-Chorus]
Crumpled letters in the glove box bin
Counting every place that I've been
Traded every wrench for a string
Waiting for the phone to ring
[Chorus]
(Call) I’m coming home to oil and dirt
(Response) Through the hunger and the hurt
(Call) I burned the bridge to see the light
(Response) Driving through a lonely night
(All) Yeah, I’m coming home!
[Post-Chorus]
(Call) Was it worth the cost?
(Response) Everything I ever lost!
(Call) Can we start again?
(Response) Where the pavement ends!
[Verse]
Gas station receipts make a trail
Every tiny way I learned to fail
Small town ghosts in the glass
Watching all the golden years pass
I used to fix the machines
Now I’m chasing hollow dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
Crumpled letters in the glove box bin
Counting every place that I've been
Traded every wrench for a string
Waiting for the phone to ring
[Chorus]
(Call) I’m coming home to oil and dirt
(Response) Through the hunger and the hurt
(Call) I burned the bridge to see the light
(Response) Driving through a lonely night
(All) Yeah, I’m coming home!
[Solo]
[Bridge]
Maybe the porch light is burning
Maybe the tide is finally turning
The road is slowing down now
I see the water tower town
[Chorus]
(Call) I’m coming home to oil and dirt
(Response) Through the hunger and the hurt
(Call) I burned the bridge to see the light
(Response) Driving through a lonely night
(All) Yeah, I’m coming home!
[Chorus]
(Call) I’m coming home to oil and dirt
(Response) Through the hunger and the hurt
(Call) I burned the bridge to see the light
(Response) Driving through a lonely night
(All) Yeah, I’m coming home!
[Outro]
