[Intro]
Rusty diesel fumes in my lungs again
Daddy's truck still runs, but I'm barely hanging in
These empty factories are all that's left of him
Ghosts of overtime, now the lights are growing dim
[Verse 1]
Late night cruising past the paper mill
Pop's old pickup truck, time f*cking stands still
Got his work boots in the passenger seat
Collecting dust while I'm counting sheep
Every street reminds me of what we lost
Generation's worth of dreams, what's the f*cking cost?
Empty bottles and these factory walls
Watch me breaking down when darkness falls
[Chorus]
Can't escape these shadows in my head
Working class hero, now he's f*cking dead
Diesel in my veins, rust under my skin
Living in this town where dreams begin to dim
Where dreams begin to dim
[Verse 2]
Sofia's noise plays through broken speakers
While I'm losing faith, getting weaker
Dad never understood my different path
Now his ghost rides shotgun, making me laugh
Dark jokes can't fix this emptiness inside
Industrial wasteland's where my dreams died
But I keep driving through these empty streets
Looking for something that feels complete
[Bridge]
Memory's a bitch, won't let me rest
Daddy's legacy put me to the test
Temporary layoffs turned permanent scars
Now I'm drowning memories in empty bars
[Outro]
Still driving circles in his rusty truck
Past all the places where we ran out of luck
Some say I'm lost, but they don't understand
These diesel fumes are all I got left of that man
