King of the Night
Daniel Remixes
Headlights fading in the rearview glass
Another night, another mile to pass
Radio whispering a half-remembered song
Of every place I don't belong
Coffee cold in a cracked old cup
Diesel humming as the Sun comes up
Mile markers blinking like memories do
Of every town and every I miss you
I've seen every state in this rearview shine
Every goodbye, every don't look back line
But the road keeps calling my name again
Same old story, different bend
I'm a long-haul driver, king of the night
Steering my life in the pale headlight
From coast to coast, I carry the load
Heart on the highway, soul on the road
Yeah, I'm a long-haul driver, born to roam
Every exit sign feels like home
But somewhere out there, past the overload
I'm just a trucker looking for home
Looking for home
Sunrise burning on the eastern sky
Another day, another goodbye
Weigh station lights in the pouring rain
Same old questions, different pain
I've loved in motels, lost in the static
Promises broken, connections automatic
But the road keeps spinning beneath these tires
Fueling dreams and dead-end fires
I'm a long-haul driver, king of the night
Steering my life in the pale headlight
From coast to coast, I carry the load
Heart on the highway, soul on the road
Yeah, I'm a long-haul driver, born to roam
Every exit sign feels like home
But somewhere out there, past the overload
I'm just a trucker looking for home
Maybe one day I'll park this rig
Find a porch light, a quiet hill
Trade these echoes for a lullaby
And watch the stars from a stationary sky
But tonight, it's diesel and chrome
White lines guiding me home
White lines guiding me home
I'm a long-haul driver, king of the night
Steering my life in the pale headlight
From coast to coast, I carry the load
Heart on the highway, soul on the road
Yeah, I'm a long-haul driver, born to roam
Every exit sign feels like home
But somewhere out there, past the overload
I'm just a trucker looking for home
Headlights fading in the morning gray
Another mile, another day
Another mile, another day
