Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Sun ain’t up but the diesel is, Cold steel seat, yeah I’m climbin’ in, Dust on my boots, grease on my hands, Another long haul through this cut-up land. Radio static, boss man calls, But out here it’s quiet when the hammer falls, Fifty tons behind me, gravity grins, I ain’t slowin’ down—let the haul road bend. Pre-Chorus They say easy now, take it slow, But this Cat don’t creep, this Cat don’t fold, Heart beat syncs with the RPM, If it goes wrong—well, it goes then. Chorus It’s just me in a 773D (no brakes), Yellow steel, yeah the earth one shakes, No time to pray, no room for mistakes, Just me in a 773D (no brakes). Downhill run with a loaded bed, White knuckles, clearin’ my head, Livin’ on nerve and diesel faith, Just me in a 773D (no brakes). Verse 2 Mirror full of dust, headlights gone, Radio quit singin’ its warning song, Company line says “follow the plan,” But the plan don’t matter when you’re weighin’ a land. Seen boys freeze, seen men break, Seen good trucks die from one bad shake, I ain’t fearless, just committed now, When the grade tips down, I don’t back out. Pre-Chorus Every bolt knows my middle name, Every scar got a reason it stayed, If the mountain wants to test my fate, I’ll answer back in a lower gear and wait. Chorus It’s just me in a 773D (no brakes), Steel lungs screamin’, earth one shakes, No guardian angel on a haul road this late, Just me in a 773D (no brakes). Hands locked tight, eyes straight ahead, One wrong move and you’re seein’ red, Livin’ on grit and a loaded fate, Just me in a 773D (no brakes). Bridge They don’t make songs for nights like these, Where the only light’s a dash and belief, If I don’t make it, tell ‘em I tried, Didn’t run from the grade—I took it head-on wide. No glory lights, no crowd that claps, Just a man and a Cat holdin’ everything back. Breakdown No brakes—no mercy— No quit—no fear— If this mountain wants me, It’s gotta earn me here. Final Chorus It’s just me in a 773D (no brakes), Yellow thunder, hear the whole pit shake, Every second’s loud, every breath’s late, Just me in a 773D (no brakes). If I roll to the bottom or crest that grade, I’ll do it honest, unafraid, Diesel heart ‘til the end of days, Just me in a 773D (no brakes). Outro Sun comes up, dust settles slow, Another load down, still here though, Kill the engine, silence breathes— Just me… And my 773D.
