Oklahoma Dust and Neon Rust

[Intro]
[Verse]
Diesel humming in the gravel lot
This coffee’s all the heat I got
Windshield’s caked in Oklahoma red
Replaying words we never said
The diner’s quiet like a prayer
I feel your spirit in the air
[Pre-Chorus]
Neon flickering on the floor
I’m looking for the open door
The mandolin begins to weep
Promises that I still keep
[Chorus]
Tattered photo on the B-17
Taped right where the light turns green
Lipstick stain on this porcelain rim
Keeping the shadows soft and dim
I’m still driving just for you
Across the gray and into blue
[Post-Chorus]
Keeping the promise every mile
Thinking ‘bout your easy smile
In the dust and neon light
Through the middle of the night
[Break]
[Verse]
Eighteen wheels and a heavy load
A weary ghost on a lonesome road
I checked the oil and tires too
Like I promised I would always do
Empty seat where the map is torn
Waiting for a brand new morn
[Chorus]
Tattered photo on the B-17
Taped right where the light turns green
Lipstick stain on this porcelain rim
Keeping the shadows soft and dim
I’m still driving just for you
Across the gray and into blue
[Bridge]
The pedal steel begins to moan
I’m never truly on my own
I’m chasing down a distant star
No matter where or how far
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Waitress brings a silver pot
I find the one and only spot
Where the jukebox light hits your face
Filling up this empty space
I put a quarter in the slot
Giving it everything I've got
[Chorus]
Tattered photo on the B-17
Taped right where the light turns green
Lipstick stain on this porcelain rim
Keeping the shadows soft and dim
I’m still driving just for you
Across the gray and into blue
[Outro]
