Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Rain hits the windshield glass Watching all the miles pass Pulled into the neon glow Taking things nice and slow Parked the rig by the door I couldn't take it anymore Needed a place to hide So I stepped inside [Pre-Chorus] Steam rises from the cup I don't even look up See an old man in the booth Searching for the hidden truth With grease under his nails Spinning out his dusty tales [Chorus] Black coffee in a chipped mug Give the world a heavy shrug Route 66 is humming low Nowhere left for us to go Just two ghosts in the rain Trading all the miles of pain Underneath the flickering sign We are doing just fine [Post-Chorus] Yeah we are doing fine Walking on a thin line In the middle of the night Everything feels right [Verse] He was a wrench and gear man With a steady, grease-stained hand Fixed the trucks that I drive Kept the heavy heart alive Worn out covers on the seat Trying to make the ends meet He smiles through the silver hair Like he’s already been there [Pre-Chorus] Waitress brings a hot refill While the world is standing still Sugar shaker starts to dance Giving us a second chance To talk about the golden years While we're shifting through the gears [Chorus] Black coffee in a chipped mug Give the world a heavy shrug Route 66 is humming low Nowhere left for us to go Just two ghosts in the rain Trading all the miles of pain Underneath the flickering sign We are doing just fine [Bridge] Pedal steel begins to cry Underneath a velvet sky A handshake and a heavy nod Finding peace in the odd Moments where the road gets wide Nowhere left for us to hide Everything will be alright In the middle of the night [Chorus] Black coffee in a chipped mug Give the world a heavy shrug Route 66 is humming low Nowhere left for us to go Just two ghosts in the rain Trading all the miles of pain Underneath the flickering sign We are doing just fine [Hook] Chipped mugs and grease Finding a little peace Chipped mugs and grease Finding a little peace [Outro]
