Threw an old Hank cassette tape in
I quit my job, let my momma down
Broke an angel's heart on the way out
Pulled my roots from the ground for
The hum of wheels on the blacktop
The strum of strings on a flat top
It's a neon fever for a small town dreamer
Tells you everything you have that's worth losin'
You might get lost in the lights
The things that keep you up all night
It's the sweetest highs, the lowest lows
It's the hum of wheels on the blacktop
The strum of strings on a flat top
Do things you never thought you'd be doing
Well you'll still be a slave to
The hum of wheels on the blacktop
The strum of strings on a flat top
It's a neon fever for a small town dreamer
