Fourteen years have gone
I was working on a diesel train
You thought of moving on
But I guess I didn't feel the same
And now I find myself
With a drink in a rowdy diner
Two blocks off the interstate
In a town in South Carolina
You never call a place your home
You try to take it on your own
We level 'till the break of day
But we always fade away
When everything is said and done
When we go like everyone
I could be at work 'till late
Or in the sunshine state
Do you know my name anymore?
I haven't felt the same
And two holes in the floor
You've been moving out
In the face of change
Brought up in my doubt
Trod in with the rain
Rolling on a rapid road
With the dusty desert heat
Hauling on a heavy load
With a rusty metal sheet
And when I thought
I heard you say
That all we'd ever be
Is robbers on a getaway
Or an end to the entropy
You never call a place your home
You try to take it on your own
We level 'till the break of day
But we always fade away
When everything is said and done
When we go like everyone
I could be at work 'till late
Or in the sunshine state
We always fade away
We always fade away
We always fade away
We always fade away
