Midnight Rails

[Intro]
[Verse1]
In the heart of the desert, where the moon hangs low, 
A diesel locomotive roars through the night’s shadow. 
The engineer grips the throttle, eyes fixed on the track, 
From L.A. to Yuma, he carries memories on his back.
[Pre-Chorus]
His hands calloused and weary, face etched with lines, 
He dreams of his family, waiting under starry signs. 
The rhythm of the wheels echoes their laughter and tears, 
As the desert wind whispers secrets in his ears.


[Chorus]
Midnight rails, steel veins that bind, 
Carry me home, away from this grind. 
Through the desert’s silence, I push ahead, 
But my heart’s in L.A., where my loved ones tread.
[Verse 2]
His wife’s face in a locket, their daughter’s eyes so bright, 
He imagines their warmth, their love in the moonlight. 
The desert stretches wide, a canvas of regrets, 
he races toward Yuma, chasing sunsets.


[Chorus]
Midnight rails, steel veins that bind, 
Carry me home, away from this grind. 
Through the desert’s silence, I push ahead, 
But my heart’s in L.A., where my loved ones tread.

[Bridge]
The engine’s heartbeat syncs with his own,
As constellations watch from their celestial throne.
He pictures their table set, candles flickering bright, 
His absence a void, a hollow in the night.


(guitar solo)

[Chorus]
Midnight rails, steel veins that bind, 
Carry me home, away from this grind. 
Through the desert’s silence, I push ahead, 
But my heart’s in L.A., where my loved ones tread.

[Outro]
The diesel’s roar fades, the desert sighs, 
He glimpses Yuma’s lights, distant as the skies. 
He’ll return to them soon, through the desert’s embrace, 
For love transcends miles, even in this desolate space.
