[Verse 1] Alarm hits dark Steel deck sweats by dawn Coffee in a stained white mug And the river just rolls on Hard hat Fuel hose Tag line in my hand Boots beat rusted metal steps Like a worn-out marching band [Chorus] Two days on One day gone Chasing that wake till the night is done Pretty sunset painting rust and foam But my heart’s tied up at home Yeah My heart’s tied up at home [Verse 2] We’re picking up empties Lines whistle through the heat Diesel taste on every breath Blisters burning through my feet Logbook Late call Another barge to swing Phone buzz “miss you” in a text I just stare and let it ring [Chorus] Two days on One day gone Chasing that wake till the night is done Pretty sunset painting rust and foam But my heart’s tied up at home Yeah My heart’s tied up at home [Bridge] Same moon over this brown water Same moon over my front door I count miles like I count paychecks Always wishing I had one more (one more, one more) [Chorus] Two days on One day gone Chasing that wake till the night is done Pretty sunset Gold on steel and stone But my heart’s tied up at home Yeah My heart’s tied up at home (my heart’s already home)

Gritty Americana rock with male vocals; jangly Telecaster and warm organ over a steady, driving rhythm section. Verses stay close and conversational, kick and bass locked-in like an engine hum. Chorus widens with stacked harmonies and open chords, evoking wide water and big skies. Bridge pulls dynamics way down—just vocal, picked guitar, and organ pad—before a final, anthemic chorus with ad-libbed lines riding out over a long sunset fade.
