[Intro]
Salt on my shoes
Tickets in my hand
Flying out to work
For my brothers in the stands
[Verse 1]
Touch down TN
Carts on the belt line rollin
Tools in the case
Brain full of blueprints loaded
UT tags
In a truck with the seat torn open
GPS say right
But the hood already know it
Doors up
Shop light buzzing on the concrete
Old slicks stacked
Mark ghosts where the car sleep
Coffee stain shirt
Smell burnt wire and raw speed
Friend say "you ready?"
I been ready all week
[Chorus]
Long days, long nights
In the shop with the sparks in our eyes
Super stock dreams in fluorescent light
We re-wire that heart
Till it comes back to life
Long days, long nights
From the first bolt twist to the sunrise
If it don’t run straight, then we re-run lines
Long days, long nights
[Verse 2]
Dash out
Harness in my hands like surgery
Label every lead
Black tape, red urgency
L&D plates
Mount clean like a surgery tray
Every bracket dead flush
Every cable out the way
Laptop glow
Map curves in the timing
Friend hit the key
Fuel pump start whining
Starter teeth bite
Whole frame start climbing
Idle settle mean
Like it know it’s prime time in
[Pre-Chorus]
Knuckles all cut
But the circuits look perfect
People see a car
I see hours that were worth it
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Flight home
Staring out the dark glass
Phone blowing up
“Bro this thing mad fast”
Smile in the aisle
Hear the crowd in my head
Green drop, front lift
We ain’t done yet [crescendo]
[Chorus]
