Yeah
This one's for the ones who work the lane, not the spotlight
Sun ain't up, but the asphalt's awake
Coffee in a travel cup, breath in the brake
Orange vest, hard hat, badge on the chest
Rollin' out while the county's still gettin' its rest
Two-lane climbs where the fog gets thick
Cold truck rumble and a tight curve's trick
They don't chase tail lights for a quick little show
They chase the weight and the truth in the load
'Cause one loose chain, one bald tire, one bad brake line
Turns a mountain bend into a headline
They're West Virginia DOT enforcement
Holdin' the line where the big wheels run
Weighin' the steel, checkin' the paperwork
Keepin' folks safe when the day ain't done
From work zones lit like a slow burn fire
To wreck scenes cold with the sirens quiet
They don't need praise, they just keep it right
WVDOT on the road all night
Eighteen-wheeler rollin' heavy downhill
Air brakes hissin' like a promise to fulfill
He's got a scale pad, a calm, steady stare
Pull it up slow, driver, hang right there
Logs strapped tight, load sealed clean
Reflectors workin' and the tread's still mean
He checks the lights, checks the lines, checks the chains
'Cause gravity don't care about excuses or names
And some days it's a ticket, yeah, some days it's fix it now
Some days it's a lesson you don't forget anyhow
He ain't out here to ruin somebody's run
He's out here so everybody gets home, son
They're West Virginia DOT enforcement
Holdin' the line where the big wheels run
Weighin' the steel, checkin' the paperwork
Keepin' folks safe when the day ain't done
From work zones lit like a slow burn fire
To wreck scenes cold with the sirens quiet
They don't need praise, they just keep it right
WVDOT on the road all night
Now it's cones and flaggers and narrow lanes
Mile marker prayers and a hard hat rain
