Zero Satisfaction

Verse 1

Eighteen wheels and a sixteen-hour haul

Radio static talking through the wall

Got a picture in my wallet faded at the fold

Of a woman who left me for a life I'll never hold

Paycheck comes in and the bills go out

Got a dog that don't like me and a truck that's worn out

But I keep on rolling down this one-way road

Gotta burn that midnight oil with a heavy load

Pre-Chorus

Every dollar that I make slips right through my hands

Every plan I stake just turns to sinking sand

Chorus

Zero satisfaction running through my veins

Zero satisfaction singing in the rain

I'm chasing something better down a mountain pass

But it's zero satisfaction that's been built to last

Post-Chorus

Zero

Zero

Zero satisfaction now

Verse 2

Friday night they call me up to play a set

Broken guitar string and a cigarette

Crowd is roaring but I hear my own regret

Echoing off the walls I haven't conquered yet

Smell of diesel and the taste of cheap whiskey

Every song I write is a story haunting me

But I'll strum this board until my fingers bleed

'Cause the only thing I've got is this aching need

Pre-Chorus

Every road I take just circles back to town

Every shake I make just pulls me deeper down

Chorus

Zero satisfaction running through my veins

Zero satisfaction singing in the rain

I'm chasing something better down a mountain pass

But it's zero satisfaction that's been built to last

Post-Chorus

Zero

Zero

Zero satisfaction now

Bridge

Mama said find something worth believing in

Daddy said son you gotta learn to bend

But I've been bending backward till I nearly broke

Gotta find the words before I run out of smoke

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Zero satisfaction running through my veins

Zero satisfaction singing in the rain

I'm chasing something better down a mountain pass

But it's zero satisfaction that's been built to last

Post-Chorus

Zero

Zero

Zero satisfaction now

Zero

Zero

Zero satisfaction now
