[Verse 1]
Six in the morning, red dust on the hood
Thermos gone cold but the engine runs good
Boss man barking from a cracked phone line
I spit in the gravel, say, "I ain't got time"
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a storm on the ridge
There's a bill on the door
But I was built for the weight
And I'm asking for more
[Chorus]
Clear the line, I'm coming through
Got a hammer in my hand and a sky gone blue
If the road wants blood, let it take mine first
I was born with a spark and a working man's curse
Clear the line, don't stand in my way
I'm hauling hard till the last light fades
[Verse 2]
Steel-toe rhythm on a flatbed floor
One more mile, then a hundred more
Mama said, "Son, keep your backbone straight"
So I carry my sins like a loaded freight
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a prayer in the smoke
There's a scar in the song
If the night wants a fight
I've been ready all along
[Chorus]
Clear the line, I'm coming through
Got a hammer in my hand and a sky gone blue
If the road wants blood, let it take mine first
I was born with a spark and a working man's curse
Clear the line, don't stand in my way
I'm hauling hard till the last light fades
[Bridge]
Slide guitar crying like a train in the pines
Whiskey on the breath of the county line
I don't need mercy, I don't need a crown
Just give me one more shift before the sun goes down
[Final Chorus]
Clear the line, I'm coming through
With a blacktop heart and a busted boot
If the road wants blood, let it take mine first
I was born with a spark and a working man's curse
Clear the line, don't stand in my way
I'm hauling hard till the last light fades
Clear the line, let the whole town know
This outlaw blood don't move slow
