Mile Marker Prayer - PulseOfMusic

Mile Marker Prayer is a melancholic country-rap story about an OTR semi-truck driver: 2AM rest-stop coffee, weigh stations, snow passes, missed birthdays, and a promise to keep the lights on back home. Slide-guitar textures, warm acoustic layers, tight drums, and a heartfelt hook built for night-drive playlists. For fans of Shaboozey, Jelly Roll, and Post Malone’s country vibes.

Lyrics
[Intro – spoken]
Got diesel in my blood, logbook in my veins.
If it’s on a map, I’ve driven through the rain.

[Verse 1]
Rest stop coffee, quarter past two,
Cab light hum and a sky cold blue.
Weigh-station green gives a little grace,
Eighteen wheels hum a tired bass.
Photo on the dash with a thumb-worn frame,
Kid with a grin calling out my name.
I kiss the glass when the handset rings,
Say “I’m good,” while the highway sings.

[Pre-Chorus]
White lines blur like a prayer I keep,
Tail lights fade while the mountains sleep.
If I stop too long, all the ghosts feel near—
So I roll, shift gears, disappear.

[Hook]
Eighteen wheels and a mile marker prayer,
I drive so the lights stay on back there.
Paycheck miles, long-haul air,
Home is a voice on the passenger chair.
Eighteen wheels and a mile marker prayer,
I give what I’ve got to the lanes I wear.
If the world needs hauling, I’ll be there—
Eighteen wheels and a mile marker prayer.

[Verse 2]
Snow in the pass and a radio hiss,
Broker on the phone with another wish.
Reefer hum steady on a midnight grade,
Counting my breath like I’m self-made saved.
Missed two games and a birthday call,
Sent new shoes, couldn’t make the hall.
Said “next week” more times than I should,
I haul the guilt with the hardwood.

[Pre-Chorus]
I tell the moon what I can’t tell friends,
How the road begins where the money ends.
I chase the sun till the shadows tear—
Then I stitch the dawn with another prayer.

[Hook]
Eighteen wheels and a mile marker prayer… (repeat)

[Bridge – melodic]
If the road lets go of me someday,
Will my hands stop shaking like they’re changing lanes?
If I park this heart and kill the lights,
Will I learn to sleep through the quiet nights?

[Verse 3 – rap/story]
Scale house wave, then I drop that gear,
Downshift courage, upshift fear.
Chain-up shoulder, fingers gone numb,
Sing low hymns to the engine drum.
Dispatch pings like a lonely bell,
I haul steel beams and the weight I won’t tell.
Some folks dream of a porch and a yard—
I dream of a door code and a yard dog’s bark.

[Hook – Final]
Eighteen wheels and a mile marker prayer,
I drive so the lights stay on back there.
Paycheck miles, long-haul air,
Home is a voice on the passenger chair.
Eighteen wheels and a mile marker prayer—
If the road needs someone, I’ll be there.
When I’m gone, please say a little there:
“He lived his life in that mile marker prayer.”

[Outro]
Engine sighs… brake lights fade…
Another town, same old trade.
