Lyrics
[Intro]
[Violin crying
Low and slow
Band fades in under a long bend]
[Verse 1]
Clock on the wall keeps lyin'
Hands barely move at all
Coffee gone cold on the counter
Dust in the strip light falls
Dispatch line keeps crackling
Names and numbers blur
Too many rigs in the red again
Too many curses heard
[Chorus]
Too many trucks with trouble
Too much weight on this old spine
Every mile they’re draggin'
Feels like it’s draggin' time
Wanna go home
Just wanna go home tonight
But the road keeps callin' this place by my name
And the clock won’t treat me right
[Verse 2]
Joe's on three with a blown-out tire
Says he’s stuck past Exit Five
Mary’s cryin' from a motel phone
Just wants a room and a quiet night
Screens glow blue in the dark room
Paper piled like snowdrifts high
Boss wants numbers
I want mercy
These four walls just want my life
[Chorus]
Too many trucks with trouble
Too much weight on this old spine
Every mile they’re draggin'
Feels like it’s draggin' time
Wanna go home
Just wanna go home tonight
But the road keeps callin' this place by my name
And the clock won’t treat me right
[Bridge]
I used to dream of leavin'
Now I dream of sleep
Hear those engines in my heartbeat
They follow me down
So deep
One more call
One more form to sign (mm)
One more storm on that blacktop line
And I’ll be fine
I’ll be fine (I’ll be fine)
[Chorus]
Too many trucks with trouble
Too much weight on this old spine
Every mile they’re draggin'
Feels like it’s draggin' time
Wanna go home
Just wanna go home tonight
But the road keeps callin' this place by my name
And the clock won’t treat me right
[Outro]
[Violin returns
Soft and shaking; instruments drop away one by one]
Wanna go home
(so tired, so tired)
Wanna go home tonight
