lyrics

This is the sound of me falling apart
As I turn the ignition and the gears start
To churn and spin and the engine sings
And I lift into space on truckers wings

This is the sound of the city limits
Where your life whizzes by in fifteen minutes
Where your truck starts to play with the laws of physics
Where your pupils dilate and your perspective pivots

If I drive one more mile
It’ll be the farthest I’ve been in more than awhile
And when I start to think about the things I lack
I think ‘Fuck the critics. I’m never going back’

Like Trojan asteroids
Like moons getting lost in the void
Like a pile of unpaid parking tickets
You can see my dust at the city limits

This is the sound of the longest haul
Where things are moving fast or not at all
Where strangers always seem to call your bluff
And you’re screaming to the darkness that you’ve had enough

Like Trojan asteroids
Like moons getting lost in the void
Like a pile of unpaid parking tickets
You can see my dust at the city limits

The Jupiter truckers were expected to wear long sleeve paisley shirts buttoned to the neck at all times as a way of saying, “I’m on a mission but where I come from is hip.”

Like Trojan asteroids
Like moons getting lost in the void
Like a pile of unpaid parking tickets
You can see my dust at the city limits

They put us in trucks that take us all over the world
On highways built on black coffee and junk food
And then ridicule us when we don’t look like body builders
No gas stations in space
No rest stops on Mars
No diners on Saturn
Just 18 wheels, the darkness, and the stars
