Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Boots hit the floor at midnight
Coffee in a paper cup
Phone buzz
Screen flashin' that Towbook call
Another car
Another cut
Kids' toys by the front door
Her note on the fridge
“Drive safe”
I kiss that picture on my dashboard
Then disappear down the interstate
[Chorus]
I’m hooked to the hook
Chained to the line
Chasin’ red flares and white stripes through the night
Every mile I’m farther from the porch light glow
Riskin’ this skin so a stranger gets home
I’m rollin’ steel
Draggin’ dreams out the ditch
Tryin’ to buy my babies one more Christmas wish
Yeah
I’m hooked to the hook
But my heart
My heart’s at home
[Verse 2]
Rain hittin’ hard on the windshield
Jackknifed rig on 84
Fire lights paintin’ my shadow long
As I drag it from death’s front door
Her text says
“You up past sunrise?”
I just send a blurry view
Of blue lights in my side mirror
Think
“One bad slip and I’m through”
[Chorus]
I’m hooked to the hook
Chained to the line
Chasin’ red flares and white stripes through the night
Every mile I’m farther from the porch light glow
Riskin’ this skin so a stranger gets home
I’m rollin’ steel
Draggin’ dreams out the ditch
Tryin’ to buy my babies one more Christmas wish
Yeah
I’m hooked to the hook
But my heart
My heart’s at home
[Bridge]
Maybe they’ll never know my name (nah)
Just see their taillights fade away
But somewhere there’s a little girl asleep
Dreamin’ safe ‘cause I didn’t leave
[Chorus]
I’m hooked to the hook
Chained to the line
Chasin’ red flares and white stripes through the night
Every mile I’m farther from the porch light glow
Riskin’ this skin so a stranger gets home
I’m rollin’ steel
Draggin’ dreams out the ditch
Tryin’ to buy my babies one more Christmas wish
Yeah
I’m hooked to the hook
But my heart
My heart’s at home (at home, at home)
