Last Mile Revival

(hummmm) Red dashboard glow on County Line Road

Thirty years carrying

somebody else's load

Radio crackles through the midnight rain

Another front seat prayer against the pain

I've seen the ditch

where the wild roses bend

Held on to hands

near the bitter end

Sirens don't wash out

the dust from your soul

When you're fighting for breath

just to keep someone whole

Old boots on the floorboard,

steady and true

Lord give me strength till the shift is through (yeah)

Coffee cup ring

on the steering wheel rim

Dawn breaking grey

over ridges so

grim

Names I forget,

but the faces remain

Etched in the glass through the windshield pane

Sirens don't wash out the dust from your soul

When you're fighting for breath

just to keep someone whole

Old boots on the floorboard,

steady and true

Lord give me strength till the shift is through

Stash the stethoscope on the passenger side

Just another quiet morning ride

(Lord, keep 'em safe)
