Legend in the Rearview Dust - Levi Stoker
The tail lights bleed into the purple of the sage
Another ink stain blotted on a tattered road map page
He didn't leave a fortune or a marble carving name
Just a smell of burnt out gasoline and a whisper of his shame
They say he drove like lightning was a leash he couldn't hold
Left a trail of broken promises and a heart that wouldn't fold
The asphalt's got a memory that the rain can't ever wash
The ghost of every gear he stripped and every light he crossed
Oh he's a legend in the rearview dust
Fading but he's there
Like the static on the radio
Or the salt stain in the air
You can park a rusty chassis and you can let the iron rust
But you can't outrun the echo of the man that we entrust
Yeah the engine might be frozen and the driver's long since cold
But the story's kicking up the grit, stories never getting old
Old man at the counter talked about the night he flew
Past the county line at 90 while the sky was turning blue
They argue 'bout the details, was it whiskey, was it love?
Or was it just the weight of all the things he couldn't shove?
He's a shadow in the truck stops, he's a rumor in the pines
The only thing who ever lived between the double yellow lines
Oh he's a legend in the rearview dust
Fading but he's there
Like the static on the radio
Or the salt stain in the air
You can park a rusty chassis and you can let the iron rust
But you can't outrun the echo of the man that we entrust
Yeah the engine might be frozen and the driver's long since cold
But the story's kicking up the grit, stories never getting old
He's gone but he ain't
He's like a whistle
He didn't die, he just dissolved into the grit
He's the spark in every engine, he's a vow when it's lit
A heavyweight phantom rolling through the dawn
Rearview dust
In the things we trust
Engine's cold
The truth's been told
