[Verse 1]
Long nose Kenworth
Chrome teeth grinnin in the rain
Doghouse sleeper full of secrets
Logbook bleeds in the driver’s name
Rolling coal past the county line
CB ghosts in the static hum
Oilfield money on a crumpled map
Black gold
Red dirt on my thumb
[Chorus]
I’m runnin a hole in the wind
Pinning their ears back again (oh yeah)
Kenworth howlin like a wild stray sin
All night
Outlaw grinnin
If the scales light up
I don’t slow
Hammer down where the pumpjacks glow
Deep dark country in my skin
I’m runnin a hole in the wind
[Verse 2]
Midnight rig yard
Iron bones groan in the mud
Roughneck boys with busted knuckles
Countin on this diesel blood
We’re pullin hot
We’re pullin heavy
Paperwork don’t match the load
State line whisper in the mirror
Blue lights hungry for my soul
[Chorus]
I’m runnin a hole in the wind
Pinning their ears back again (hey!)
Kenworth howlin like a wild stray sin
All night
Outlaw grinnin
If the scales light up
I don’t slow
Hammer down where the pumpjacks glow
Deep dark country in my skin
I’m runnin a hole in the wind
[Bridge]
Mama said that road gets cold
Daddy said that road pays gold
Preacher said that road ain’t blessed
But this old road fits me best (fits me best)
[Chorus]
I’m runnin a hole in the wind
Pinning their ears back again
Kenworth howlin like a wild stray sin
All night
Outlaw grinnin
If the scales light up
I don’t slow
Hammer down where the pumpjacks glow
Oil rigs drillin
I just grin
I’m runnin a hole in the wind
