Rescue Road Jam

(One, two, punch it!)

Twenty-four years on county line asphalt Running thirty-eight tons through the red

dirt salt Thermos of black coffee riding shotgun seat

Heard every sound that a ribcage can beat

Boot heels worn down,

radio alive Another code coming down on route forty-five

Flash that beacon,

let the siren wind

We got one more soul to drag back in

(Hang on now!)

Running on steel wheels,

diesel, and prayer

If you're breathing thin,

buddy, I'll be there Old dog in the rig,

still keeping the stride

We don't lose one on my watch tonight

(No we don't!)

Pupils pinned wide, steering wheel bent Got the IV started,

got the oxygen sent

Young rookie trembling, I just tap his hand Said breathe easy son,

gotta work the plan

Seen the worst storms that the devil could brew And we walked

right out the other side too

Air horn howling,

clearing out the lane

Fighting every inch to beat the pain

(Clear the

road!) Running on steel wheels,

diesel, and prayer

If you're breathing thin,

buddy, I'll be there Old dog in the rig,

still keeping the stride

We don't lose one on my watch tonight

(Hold on tight!)

(Yeah, wind it up!)

They ask why I do it after all these scars Beneath the

cold rain and the rural stars Cause when that monitor jumps back

alive There ain't no feeling that can beat that drive

Running on steel wheels,

diesel, and prayer

If you're breathing thin,

buddy, I'll be there Old dog in the rig,

still keeping the stride

We don't lose one on my watch tonight

(Not tonight!)

Rolling through the sunrise,

safe and sound (hahaha)
