  • 文本歌词
  • LRC歌词
  • They hook you up
  • To a fentanyl drip
  • To mitigate the pain a little bit
  • I flew in
  • From Pennsylvania
  • When I heard the hour was coming fast
  • And I docked in San Barbara
  • Tried to brace myself
  • You can't brace yourself
  • When the time comes
  • You just have to roll with the blast
  • And I'm an eighteen-wheeler headed down the interstate
  • And my breaks are going to give
  • And I won't know till it's too late
  • Tires screaming when I lose control
  • Try not to hurt too many people when I roll

  • Find the harbor freeway
  • And head south
  • Real tired
  • Head kind of light
  • I found Telegraph Road
  • I'd only seen the name on envelopes
  • Found the parking lot
  • And turned right
  • I felt all the details
  • Carving out space in my head
  • Tropicanas on the walk way
  • Neon red
  • Between the pain
  • And the pills trying to hold at bay
  • Stand as a traveler going far away
  • And I am airplane tumbling wing over wing
  • Tried to listen to my instruments
  • They don't say anything
  • People screaming when the engines quit
  • I hope we're all in crash position when we hit

  • And then came to your bedside
  • And as it turns out
  • I'm not ready
  • And as though
  • You were speaking through a thick haze
  • You said hello to me
  • We all stood there around you
  • Happy to hear you speak
  • The last of something bright burning
  • Still burning
  • Beyond the cancer and the chemotherapy
  • And you were a presence full of light upon this earth
  • And I am a witness to your life and to it's worth
  • It's three days later when I get the call
  • And there's nobody around to break my fall
  • They hook you up
  • To a fentanyl drip
  • To mitigate the pain a little bit
  • I flew in
  • From Pennsylvania
  • When I heard the hour was coming fast
  • And I docked in San Barbara
  • Tried to brace myself
  • You can't brace yourself
  • When the time comes
  • You just have to roll with the blast
  • And I'm an eighteen-wheeler headed down the interstate
  • And my breaks are going to give
  • And I won't know till it's too late
  • Tires screaming when I lose control
  • Try not to hurt too many people when I roll
