Long Haul Blues

[Verse 1]
Engine growls, it’s a midnight scream,
Thirty tons of steel chasing a dying dream.
Oilfield dust coats my boots and my soul,
Miles to go, just a rig to console.
[Prechorus]
Red-eyed drivers, shadows on the road,
No names, no faces, just another load.
[Chorus]
Nobody cares if you’re runnin’ on fumes,
Nobody asks if the silence consumes.
Out here it’s spite and the devil’s own muse,
Welcome to the long haul blues.
[Verse 2]
Lot lizards prowl by the neon haze,
Trading hours of shame for a handful of pay.
The coffee’s burnt, the energy drinks sour,
But I’ve still got three hundred more miles this hour.
[Prechorus]
The sun don’t rise, it just burns through the fog,
And every mile feels like a chained-up dog.
[Chorus]
Nobody cares if you’re runnin’ on fumes,
Nobody asks if the silence consumes.
Out here it’s spite and the devil’s own muse,
Welcome to the long haul blues.
