Gasoline and Sparks

Verse 1
Leaves are blowing on the asphalt tonight
Rumble strips wake me up
I pass another loaded logging truck
The radio sings along

Pre-Chorus
It’s a long and winding road
Another hour and I’ll be home
But to do it all again is gonna take a better man
Than I am

Chorus
Cause every night there’s headlights in my dreams
Wiper blades are passing back and forth over me
I see taillights in the dark
And I smell gasoline and sparks

Verse 2
Ditch lines filled with old beer cans and trash 
Another tourist, another boat
There’s one more broken down compact car
15 years past their prime

Bridge

15 years past my prime
What a waste of time

Verse 3
You drive like hell to save 5 minutes
You take those turns way too fast
The early morning fog and the black ice
Will this trip be your last
