Verse 1
Sun ain’t up but the engine’s alive
Cold breath foggin’ up the cab inside
Steel chains sing when the gears bite down
Fifty tons hummin’ like a bad-ass sound
Frozen load, yeah it cuts like a knife
One slip wrong, that’s a hard-earned price
White lines blur, but my hands don’t shake
Got a long black road and a deadline to make
Pre-Chorus
Radio low, just the motor talkin’
Every mile marker feels like I’m walkin’
The edge of control, but that’s my vice
Livin’ real heavy on 50 ton ice
Chorus
50 ton ice, cold as my stare
Wide open throttle, prayin’ I get there
Chains on the tires, death in the dice
One wrong move and it’s payin’ the price
No sleep, no fear, just grit and drive
Runnin’ frozen freight just to stay alive
Blue lights glow in the dead of night
Yeah, I live my life on 50 ton ice
Verse 2
CB crackle, hear a voice say slow
But time don’t wait and the load don’t know
Blacktop glass, moon cut sharp
Headlights piercin’ through the dark
Every bridge feels paper-thin
Every downhill dares me to sin
But I’ve danced this line a hundred times
Cold-blooded heart, steady mind
Pre-Chorus
Knuckles white but the wheel stays straight
Ain’t no luck, just skill and fate
Heartbeat syncs with the tachometer slice
Still rollin’ strong on 50 ton ice
Chorus
50 ton ice, cold as my stare
Wide open throttle, prayin’ I get there
Chains on the tires, death in the dice
One wrong move and it’s payin’ the price
No sleep, no fear, just grit and drive
Runnin’ frozen freight just to stay alive
Blue lights glow in the dead of night
Yeah, I live my life on 50 ton ice
Bridge
If I don’t make it home, let the engine cool
Tell ‘em I died doin’ what I do
Ain’t no glory, just frozen ground
And a long haul king with a heavyweight crown
Breakdown
Ice in my veins, steel in my soul
Fifty damn tons and I’m still in control
Final Chorus
50 ton ice, cold as my stare
Wide open throttle, prayin’ I get there
Chains bite hard, sparks fly twice
Hear the devil whisper roll the dice
No sleep, no fear, just grit and drive
Runnin’ frozen freight just to stay alive
When the sun comes up, I’m still rollin’ right
Survived another run on 50 ton ice
Outro
Engine ticks as the load comes free
Cold road finally lettin’ go of me
But tonight I’ll dream of steel and white
Back on the grind with 50 ton ice
