NoniMotto - Twelve Spikes a Mile | Texas Blues Shuffle

"Twelve Spikes a Mile" by NoniMotto. An authentic Texas blues shuffle fused with heavy Korean traditional percussion. Driven by relentless overdriven Stratocaster chops, cutting slide guitar licks, and the deep, grounding pulse of the buk drum. [Lyrics] Some men are made of paper You're made of steel and sweat Sun's up, you're already gone Same fight before the dawn You drive twelve spikes, what do you get Twelve more waitin' at sunset Every wage you earn today Buys you one more twelve-spike day Some men's hands stay soft and clean Yours turned iron, hard and lean Every callus tells a debt Paid in full, but owin' yet You drive twelve spikes, what do you get Twelve more waitin' at sunset Every wage you earn today Buys you one more twelve-spike day Some roads end where travelers rest Yours keeps runnin', east to west Every mile you leave behind Just clears the way for one more line You drive twelve spikes, what do you get Twelve more waitin' at sunset Every wage you earn today Buys you one more twelve-spike day Some men are made of paper You're made of steel and sweat --- Artist: NoniMotto Track: Twelve Spikes a Mile Genre: Texas Blues Shuffle / Blues Rock © 2026 NoniMotto.
