Under Redline

To all the delivery drivers in the world. This is for us. Lyrics: No rush. Got all day. Just keep moving. --- Good van, phone lit Morning already fed Pull out, doors shut Whole route up ahead No crowd around me No need to explain Just me and the road And a little bit of rain Music in one ear Address on the screen One thing at a time Keep the movement clean I could burn it all Trying to prove I can But I know what happens When you outrun the plan --- So I keep something back I don't spend it all Still moving steady When the evening falls --- I don't need the redline I need the whole damn day Ten hours at eighty And I still got some away One stop Then another Nothing more than that Keep something in reserve And keep moving down the map --- Mostly on my own That's alright with me Moving through the world Exactly where I need to be Hands doing work Mind staying clear Clock keeps moving I just stay right here Some days hit harder Some roads don't agree Some doors take longer That's nothing new to me Don't fight the whole route Before it even comes Deal with what is here Then move on when it's done --- Keep something back Don't spend it all Same steady motion When the shadows fall --- I don't need the redline I need the whole damn day Ten hours at eighty And I still got some away One stop Then another Nothing more than that Keep something in reserve And keep moving down the map --- Rain on the windshield Cold air on my face No one needs to hurry Nothing needs a race Real work Real tired But the mind stays mine The machine can keep asking I'll answer in my time --- That's the part I like Clear mission Then go No applause waiting Nobody has to know When the last one disappears And the screen finally clears I know what I carried I know why I was here Then I shut the door Let the whole day end Still got legs beneath me Still got something left Not empty Not finished Just done for tonight I never hit the redline I just kept it right --- I don't need the redline I need the whole damn day Ten hours at eighty And I still got some away One stop Then another Nothing more than that Keep something in reserve And keep moving down the map --- Clock hits done. That's enough. Go home knowing What you did.
