Salt and Wire

Verse

Dust on my boots and the sun coming up slow

Tractor's engine roaring where the field used to go

Mama's old plow hook hanging from a wire

Folks driving by wavin', we don't ask for fire

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising off that blacktop ground?

There's something burning underneath our feet and sound

Let the gravel fly like diamonds in the sun

This is where we learn what we're gonna be done

Chorus

We're spinning out of silence on a wire so thin

Every mile we drive is one more mile we win

Salt and wire, burn us clean

Kick up some dust, watch the sunset lean

Verse 2

Neon on the horizon where the county road bends

Sirens fading down at the end of this long line of friends

Somebody's radio blaring where it don't belong

We'll drive all night through the stars till our hearts start to sing

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising off that blacktop ground?

There's something burning underneath our feet and sound

Let the gravel fly like diamonds in the sun

This is where we learn what we're gonna be done

Chorus

We're spinning out of silence on a wire so thin

Every mile we drive is one more mile we win

Salt and wire, burn us clean

Kick up some dust, watch the sunset lean

Bridge

Maybe someday this line will stop and turn to gold

But for now it's just the hum beneath my collarbone

I don't need a map or a compass in the night

Just watch the speedometer climb till it shines so bright

Chorus

We're spinning out of silence on a wire so thin

Every mile we drive is one more mile we win

Salt and wire, burn us clean

Kick up some dust, watch the sunset lean
