Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Apron hanging on the hook Closed the greasy recipe book Threw the keys on the bench Left behind the kitchen stench Chevy cranked with a heavy groan Better than being all alone [Pre-Chorus] Fiddle starts to wail and cry Underneath a bruised-up sky Dust is kicking off the tires Fueling all my old desires [Chorus] Oh, let the gravel sing Hear the rusted metal ring Heading where the air turns cold Trading silver for the gold On a road that never ends Where the wild horizon bends [Post-Chorus] Hey! Hey! The Northbound way Hey! Hey! Not a word to say [Verse] Stopped at a rest stop gate Met a man from a distant state He said “Son, don't ever wait” Before he pulled his heavy freight Wildfire pink across the pines Crossing all the county lines [Pre-Chorus] Fiddle starts to wail and cry Underneath a bruised-up sky Dust is kicking off the tires Fueling all my old desires [Chorus] Oh, let the gravel sing Hear the rusted metal ring Heading where the air turns cold Trading silver for the gold On a road that never ends Where the wild horizon bends [Bridge] Thirty years of flipping steaks Tired of all the lucky breaks I want the wind to bite my skin Let the real life begin No more maps No more traps [Verse] Found a note in a plastic booth Scrawled out like a gospel truth Said “Love is just a ghost you chase” Left it in that lonely place Shifted gears to a higher hum Beating like a heavy drum My heart is wide Enjoy the ride [Chorus] Oh, let the gravel sing Hear the rusted metal ring Heading where the air turns cold Trading silver for the gold On a road that never ends Where the wild horizon bends [Post-Chorus] Hey! Hey! The Northbound way Hey! Hey! Not a word to say [Verse] Passed the border in the rain Losing every old refrain Don't know where I'll park this thing Or what the morning light will bring Just the frost and the mountain air I’m halfway there to anywhere [Outro]
