Driver 8 - Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit, John Paul White

The walls are built up, stone by stone

The fields divided one by one

And the train conductor says, «Take a break, Driver 8

Driver 8, take a break, we’ve been on this shift too long»

And the train conductor says (Driver 8)

«Take a break, Driver 8 (Driver 8)

Driver 8, take a break

We can reach our destination

But we’re still a ways away

But we’re still a ways away»

Saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm

The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won’t get snagged

The bells are ringin' through the town again

The children look up, but all they hear is sky-blue bells ringin'

And the train conductor says (Driver 8)

«Take a break, Driver 8 (Driver 8)

Driver 8, take a break

We can reach our destination

But we’re still a ways away

But it’s still a ways away

But we’re still a ways away

But it’s still a ways away»

A way to shield the hated heat

A way to put myself to sleep

A way to shield the hated heat

A way to put myself and my children to sleep

He piloted this song in a plane like that one

And she is selling faith on the Go Tell Crusade

Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent, hear the bells ring again

And the fields of wheat is lookin' thin

And the train conductor says (Driver 8)

«Take a break, Driver 8 (Driver 8)

Driver 8, take a break

We’ve been on this shift too long»

And the train conductor says (Driver 8)

«Take a break, Driver 8 (Driver 8)

Driver 8, take a break

We can reach our destination

But we’re still a ways away

But it’s still a ways away

But we’re still a ways away

But it’s still a ways away»
