Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The lightnin’ strikes in a distant glow.
The sun now sinkin’ down low,
A midnight storms thunder rolls,
Now on this dark n lonely road I roam.
Livin’ my life truckin’
Till I get it back home!
[Chorus]
Damn, these blood stained ROADS,
Thunderstorms… heavy downpours!
Worried minds, and road beaten souls,
Home to mine, you to yours!
Every crack of lightnin’ every life at stake!
Prayin’ to god this storm’ll break!
[verse 2]
As I pull into the left lane,
Another truck I’ll need to pass!
The rain pours down harder,
Knowin’ it’ could be my last!
Tryin’ to see the road thru fogged up glass,
This highway has gone to hell fast!
[Chorus]
Damn, these blood stained ROADS,
Thunderstorms… heavy downpours!
Worried minds, and road beaten souls,
Home to mine, you to yours!
Every crack of lightnin’ every life at stake!
Prayin’ to god this storm’ll break!
[verse 3]
For many midnight drivers,
The battle against the weather!
The highway lights flicker,
Then the light goes out forever!
Stories of loved ones,
Spoken in somber grace!
The memories remembered,
Thru a tear stained red face!
[Chorus]
Damn, these blood stained ROADS,
Thunderstorms… heavy downpours!
Worried minds, and road beaten souls,
Home to mine, you to yours!
Every crack of lightnin’ every life at stake!
Prayin’ to god this storm’ll break!
[verse 4]
Now, tonight I’m chasin' shadows,
of the life I used to roam,
Every twist and turn,
this highway is now my only home.
Heavy hearts on midnight drives,
as the rain continues to fall,
In the rearview mirrors,
they can’t see the past at all.
[Bridge]
Dark clouds gather ‘round me,
drivers ghosts of days gone by,
The road keeps on stretchin’
beneath this endless sky.
With every mile, just thinkin’
‘bout the love I left… behind,
Wishin’ I make it back to her,
Now my name just a gravestone line!
[Chorus]
Damn, these blood stained ROADS,
Thunderstorms… heavy downpours!
Worried minds, and road beaten souls,
Home to mine, you to yours!
Every crack of lightnin’ every life at stake!
Prayin’ to god this storm’ll break!
[Outro]
The lost highway truckers,
and the roads that we drive,
Underneath this darkened sky,
all we can do is just survive.
With every distant thunder,
I hear a drivers lonesome….call,
The sunset’s saying goodbye,
but we’ll always keep rollin’ on….after all.
