Lyrics:
Sleepy truckers, prescription haze, they ain’t slept in daze
Give’em something to cut the smoke, Lord help’em on their way
Every line on this road is another line on my face
Say your door’s wide open but I know my place

My chest is pulling tighter
My heart can’t open wider
Do I have to leave for you to come around?
If I could breath you deeper
You’d be my only keeper
But the highway’s holding me for now

If you were my medication I’d need a straight shot
But these miles of peace of mind, that’s all I’ve got
Gimme gimme gimme more before this panic sets in
The wheels fell off awhile ago I can’t afford to start over again
