lyrics

Ten Bucks Too Light © Hal Brolund 2010

My heart races forward like a greyhound bus
one foot on the gas and the other on the clutch
I'm always too quick to change the gears
a shot rings out in the cold dark night
a street race running for the bragging rights
and I'm always too quick to change the gears

Midnight calls to the highwayman
Diesel fuel for that one night stand
Ten Bucks Too Light to make it home
Give me one more mile before my engines blown
One more truck stop, another time zone
Ten Bucks Too Light to make it home

Night falls down like a wedding gown
an early winter blanket on this prairie town
I'm always too quick to change the gears
headlights glare under a blood red moon
with any luck it's gonna be dawn soon
I'm always too quick to change the gears

(Bridge)
I'm stuck behind a semi to the double lane
wishing I could make it home again
my heart races forward in the passing lane
