lyrics

Martinez
© 2012 Melody Walker

I know all the roads by muscle memory
So I think too much when I’m at the wheel in
Martinez
And at night the yellow lines ring like a melody
And I swear sometimes it swallows me
Martinez
And I can’t keep from crashing
No, I can’t think to keep myself alive

I drive over Palm at night, I see the lights
Of the refinery, with it’s stacks on high
Martinez
And the noise that no one notices is clearer now
That drumming hum that’s always around
Martinez
And I can’t keep on driving
I’ll fall asleep and wake up in another town

Well, that train it whistles low and it’ll whistle loud
And let that lonesome sound echo all through town
Martinez
And at night I dream I catch it and drift afar
Just one in a chain of a thousand cars
Martinez
And I can’t feel the ride
But then even the smoothest tracks collide
