Exit 142

[Intro]
[Verse]
Diesel humming on the shoulder line
Neon flickering a broken sign
Parked the rig by the rusted gate
Walked in early but I'm feeling late
The floorboards creak a heavy tune
Underneath a dusty desert moon
[Pre-Chorus]
She’s pouring black into a chipped-up cup
Telling me I’m lucky that she’s up
She’s got a story in her tired eyes
Somewhere between the truths and lies
[Chorus]
Faded polaroids on a Formica top
Where the miles finally stop
A farmhand smiling in the golden grain
Before the years and the winter rain
We’re just two ghosts in a neon glow
With nowhere left that we need to go
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, we're drifting slow
In the only world we know
[Verse]
Pointed at a man in a denim vest
He was the kind that stood the test
He hauled the hay till his back gave out
That’s what living is all about
I told her 'bout the home I left behind
The girl I keep at the back of my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
She touched the edge of a silver frame
Whispered low a lucky man's name
The counter's cold but the coffee's hot
Giving everything that we both got
[Chorus]
Faded polaroids on a Formica top
Where the miles finally stop
A farmhand smiling in the golden grain
Before the years and the winter rain
We’re just two ghosts in a neon glow
With nowhere left that we need to go
[Bridge]
Harmonica hums a lonesome chord
Like a prayer sent up to the Lord
The fiddle swells like a rising tide
There’s nowhere for a man to hide
Just the road and the coffee steam
Waking up from a silver dream
[Verse]
The clock is ticking on the diner wall
Waiting for the morning sun to call
She tucked the picture in her apron fold
A piece of silver and a heart of gold
I grabbed my keys and I tipped my hat
There ain't no simpler truth than that
[Chorus]
Faded polaroids on a Formica top
Where the miles finally stop
A farmhand smiling in the golden grain
Before the years and the winter rain
We’re just two ghosts in a neon glow
With nowhere left that we need to go
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, we're drifting slow
In the only world we know
Just the coffee and the morning light
Getting us through another night
[Outro]
