[Intro]

[Verse]
Midnight oil, neon hum
Engines coolin', day is done
Dusty boots on cracked concrete
Another mile, another street
Smell of fumes, a whispered plea
Just tryna find the man in me
Pretending that we're doing fine
Beneath this faded highway sign

[Pre-Chorus]
Got a pocket full of lint and doubt
Tryna figure this whole thing out
This ain't the place you'd wanna stay
But it's where we are today

[Chorus]
Oh, these gasoline prayers we send
To a heaven we can't comprehend
With a raspy voice and a weary soul
Hoping for a future, making us whole
Yeah, the road is long, the night is deep
Secrets that the asphalt keep
But there's a flicker in the dark
A Southern soul, a burning spark

[Verse]
Slide guitar cries a lonesome sound
As the steady beat pounds the ground
Tube amp groanin', warm and low
Where the weary travellers go
Guilt like shadows, hope a gleam
Chasing down a broken dream
Every bend a memory's scar
Beneath a lonely, distant star

[Pre-Chorus]
Got a heart full of might-have-beens
And a conscience full of sins
This ain't the place you'd wanna know
But it's where the wild things grow

[Chorus]
Oh, these gasoline prayers we send
To a heaven we can't comprehend
With a raspy voice and a weary soul
Hoping for a future, making us whole
Yeah, the road is long, the night is deep
Secrets that the asphalt keep
But there's a flicker in the dark
A Southern soul, a burning spark

[Solo]

[Bridge]
Handclaps echo, a rough-hewn choir
Fueling up this desperate fire
We're not polished, we're not clean
Just survivors of this scene
Whispering for a better day
Trying to wash the dirt away

[Chorus]
Oh, these gasoline prayers we send
To a heaven we can't comprehend
With a raspy voice and a weary soul
Hoping for a future, making us whole
Yeah, the road is long, the night is deep
Secrets that the asphalt keep
But there's a flicker in the dark
A Southern soul, a burning spark

[Outro]
